Over time, the mountain or speleological rescuers encountered situations in which it was necessary to intervene in
mountain lakes or submerged caves, actions that are possible only with specialized divers. Because of a lack of structures
that would train and provide such divers, already since the 80s, the Salvamont and speleological structures started to equip
and train their own specialists in this fi eld.
The continuous improvement of the legislation in this fi eld, allowed the acquisition of performant diving equipment, and
the high level training of the over 50 divers activating within Salvamont-Salvaspeo teams.
In 2017, the fi rst national meeting of rescue divers within the Salvamont Romania
services is organized, an occasion that revealed the participants’ good training
level, their good accreditation and offi cial international certifi cation level, and
the quality if their equipment on a national level. A diving subcommittee
was also created within the ANSMR-Salvamont Romania’s Technical
Commission. In time, the diving Salvamontists proved their usefulness
by intervening and solving events that happened in free waters,
frozen waters, or natural and artifi cial submerged tunnels.
