Like Meaghan said check with your local department. The department that I am on also has a dive team and we are not required to be a part of it if we do not want to. I am with you on the whole no water thing if i cant see the bottom i am not getting in. and there are other things you can do for the dive team. I do not dive but I am a tender and hold the rope that the diver is connected to. I also drive the dive truck and boat for them.

I hope it's not a problem with confined spaces? There is not a huge, great difference between scUba and scba! What exactly is the problem with diving?
