Water Rescue and Recovery

SAR's mission does not stop at the water's edge. From inland waters to the great Pacific Ocean, SAR has Dive Teams to get the job done. Work-a-day folks, and recreational divers, who find the time to train and prepare for when the need arises. On any given day with a sack lunch in hand, and a "Honey, I'm off", they may get a call and find themselves going to work by boat, jet-ski, or helicopter to save a life, or recover a lost soul.
SAR's Divers don't go it alone, and SAR Dive Teams are not just divers. Many SAR members dedicate they time to learn safety procedures and methods to support the divers during a rescue or recovery. If you are interested in joining a SAR Dive Team, but don't want to dive, we have a place for you as a Dive Tender, or a Boat Crew Member. Holding a rope is every bit as important as getting wet.
At the end of the day you may be tired, but the gradification is over welming. You won't be saying "That's interesting. I could have done that.". You'll be saying "I DID. I DO. I WILL AGAIN. I make a difference!"
