The Danville Life Saving Crew’s Dive Team won First Place in the recent Dive Competition held at the Virginia Association of Volunteer Rescue Squads (VAVRS) held in September, 2011. They successfully managed three “problems” which started with an underwater search. The Shore Captain was then intentionally pulled and had to complete a written dive test and then work a navigation problem. Then, the remainder of the team was informed they had to rescue a diver in a quarry trapped underwater by a rock.

The DLSC team successfully completed each phase of the operation within the allotted time limit.
