In a passionate social media post, Paul Toomer has announced that with immediate effect, he stepping away from Dive RAID International.
It is with sadness that I must advise that I am no longer involved with Dive RAID International (RAID HQ).
This decision was not made lightly and reflects a mutual understanding between RAID and myself. I have greatly valued contributing to RAID’s growth and accomplishments over the years. However, we now hold differing visions for the future, and it is time for me to take a new path.
As of now, I am no longer in a position to respond to inquiries from RAID members, regional offices, or representatives. Please direct any questions to your local RAID office or to Dive RAID International directly. Contact information is available on the official website.
Even though I am no longer involved with RAID HQ, I have not lost my passion for working in this amazing industry and I will continue to teach and dive. My rebreathers will probably see more action now than they ever have.
Of course I wish the RAID guys all the best going forward.
Dive RAID International (Rebreather Association of International Divers) was originally established in the early 2000s with a focus on technical and rebreather diving. Built by a team of experienced industry professionals, RAID set out to modernize diver education with a strong emphasis on digital learning and safety standards. After a brief hiatus, the brand was revitalized in 2014 under new leadership, expanding its scope to include a full range of recreational, technical, and freediving programs. Today, RAID is known for its cutting-edge online training platform, environmental commitment, and innovative approach to diver certification. As a member of the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC), RAID has a growing global network of affiliated dive centers and instructors delivering high-quality education worldwide.
