Members of the dive team consist of a deputy sheriff acting as team coordinator and volunteer community members. The dive team operates on a county budget as well as public contributions. Members donate training time, which helps reduce cost. Members of the dive team are on a phone pager system and are dispatched by pager in time of need. The volunteer dive team is now completely operational and has responded to several calls for service since its creation.
