Newtown Underwater Search and Rescue (NUSAR) is a professionally trained all volunteer dive response team stationed in Sandy Hook Connecticut. The team has provided year round water-based first response to water-based emergencies above and below the surface and along the shorelines of Newtown and the surrounding communities in Western Connecticut since 1989.

Presentation will go over preparation, safety techniques and post incident protocols that are utilized to keep a Public Safety dive team safe before, during, and after a dive emergency.  The presentation will include slides and video clips of both drills and various calls that we have participated in over the past few years.

NUSAR's Chief Michael McCarthy is a founding member of NUSAR and has been a member of the team since its inception. Dr. Michael Cassetta (Dr Mike) is NUSAR’s Assistant Chief and has been a member of the team since 2013.
