Last night RCMSAR34, whilst already on the water training, were tasked to attend a call to an 80' tug at a harbour within our working area.

It has sprung a leak on the hook and the owner's dewatering pumps were working overtime. To avoid him running out of fuel before the vessel could be dived on, JRCC requested we deliver 40+ liters of fuel to support overnight operations.

Hopefully the repairs were successful today, but as ever we are tasking-ready to assist further!

Thanks to our crew for an efficient preventative tasking!

Heroes come in many forms.

From cave divers to chorus singers, our volunteers come from an array of different backgrounds, all with one shared mission: saving lives on the water.

If you've been wondering whether there's a place for you too, there is. We're always looking for crew, shore and support members to join our station.

RCMSAR volunteers wear a PFD every time they are on the water—not because they expect something to go wrong, but because they know it can.

Being prepared starts before you leave the dock. A fall, collision, mechanical problem or sudden change in conditions can happen before there is time to prepare.

So, why aren’t you wearing it?

Wear your lifejacket or PFD. Every time.
