no trees were harmed while posting any of my messages,
however a significant number of electrons were inconvenienced.

Would a PSD have to go thru the ranks of training like OW, AOW, Rescue Diver then become a PSD aka Public Safety Diver or would they have to go thru EMS etc.. then to PSD, and if so would a PSD have a C card.

Here in Denver they go through the EMS route and graduate up to PSD. I don't think a C card is required, as they have their own specialized training program. But I think they all pretty much do.
I'd start with your local fire department and see how they do it.
I give those guys lots of credit. Most of there work around here is in low vis, shallow water, many times high current and very cold water. And many times its more recovery work than it is actually a rescue.

I know the Miami Dade dive team actually requires there people to be dive instructors as one of the prereqs.
