The Dive Team Unit is used for both water rescues and underwater search and recovery of evidence, lost or stolen property and vehicles and the recovery or drowning victims. Their equipment includes a hover craft, hydrospeeder underwater camera equipment, surface air supply delivery system, and a command trailer with the latest in communication equipment.

There are currently 15 members on the dive team. This number involves 12 divers and 3 surface support personnel.  All members are volunteer and are always on call.
Several team members also volunteer for special events such as parades and safety fairs to educate
the public on water safety. The Dive Team was started by Sheriff Leis after the 1989 Miamitown Bridge Collapse.
