About Emergency Underwater Recovery

We are essentially an underwater recovery agency which assists other public safety teams in our community and throughout New Jersey and the surrounding states. Our primary mission is recovering the bodies of those who have drowned; however we also participate in water-rescues, public safety stand-bys and underwater recovery operations in or around all types of water. Occasionally we even do semi-commercial jobs such as water-treatment plant repair work and bridge piling inspections. We also teach basic and advanced water safety with emphasis on the skills necessary to operate in a swift-water environment. These skills include: SCUBA diving in many different environments; topside support of diving operations; underwater salvage, handling rescue/recovery boats; ice rescue, and operating in floods and other swift-water environments.

We need volunteers to help with:
