Pacific Safety Group was founded in Ventura, California to deliver ocean rescue training the way it should be done: in the water, in real conditions, built around the people doing the job.
Pacific Safety Group offers didactic training and certification per the California State Fire Marshal's Office. Our staff boasts decades of experience teaching in the public and private sectors, and we place a premium on developing the proper mindset of an ocean rescue swimmer.
We provide in-person instruction in your area of jurisdiction, personalized to your department's conditions, needs and requirements, with a focus on maximizing water time. When you'd rather come to us, our home water is the Ventura County coastline, from Ventura Pier to Point Mugu.

This is your department, your personnel, your SOGs and SOPs. We bring decades of ocean rescue instruction and a proven CSFM curriculum; you bring the knowledge of your coastline and your operations. Together we build the program, deliver it, and check every box the State requires.
We're dealing with the ocean and her many moods, and she always has the final say. Every course is planned and staffed with that in mind.
We never show up saying "this is how it's done." We know how to train ocean rescuers; you know your jurisdiction. We adapt proven methods to your equipment, tactics and strategies so your team accomplishes its mission safely.
Classroom where it's needed, then as much time in the water as we can get. Skills are built through repetition in real conditions.
