When is it used?

For recreational events where water crossings or open water activity is involved. Specialist Search Dogs can deploy a fully equipped and qualified team to assist in all elements of water rescue. This includes team members that are able to operate in all water conditions, including white water, and are trained in Swift water rescue. This facility is particularly applicable to support events in the challenge and endurance sector that include swimming or water crossings. 

We also have the ability to deploy equipped teams to assist searches for missing people where a dog may not be appropriate to be used. In both cases, teams are fully self sufficient and equipped with technical water gear including a range of boats.
