Search Techniques

Canterbury Rescue doing Search Techniques. At Canterbury Coastguard we have a crew of highly trained volunteers that are available 24/7 for any callout. Anything from a jump starts to a missing person. We train hard to ensure we maintain our high standard and training newer crew.

Here is the crew touching up on their search techniques on the water on a Tuesday training night.

This search pattern is called the expanding box search, carefully planned and executed by the team.
