The Cowlitz County Dive Rescue Team is a non-profit group of volunteers that serves Cowlitz County, Southwest Washington and its neighbors. We respond to any water-related incident including:

• Vehicle Recovery
• Lost Swimmers
• Missing Persons Near the Water
• Boats and Boaters in Distress
• Flood incidents
• Swift Water Rescue
• In-Water Evidence Recovery

Members of our team not only include divers, but also surface support personnel to aide the divers in search and recovery operations. Although all of our members go through specialized training to properly serve the community while staying safe, we are not paid in any way.

We provide our own dive gear and air fills when needed. We hold monthly meetings and regular training meetings with other agencies including Local Fire Departments, Local Police Departments, Sheriff's Office, Search and Rescue as well as other Dive Rescue teams.

Since we are a volunteer organization, we depend on support from the community through donations to pay for additional training and safety equipment. If you would like to help us by donating, please see our donation page.

If you are interested giving back to the community and would like to see about becoming a member, please contact us.
