Swift water rescue training on the River Dart in Devon

Working in water at night has its challenges when trying to effect a water rescue. Apart from the obvious reduction in visibility, effective communication becomes harder with the background noise of the water and difficulty in visual signals being seen.
This training on the River Dart was designed to get our Swift Water Technicians as well as Mod2 qualified members of Dartmoor Search and Rescue Ashburton working together effectively in rigging and positioning our rescue sled and recovering casualties.
A very useful training exercise.
