Larimer County Dive Rescue is an all-volunteer 501c3 rescue organization dedicated to providing emergency water services for the citizens of Larimer County – and statewide upon request. The organization is charged with a mission of water rescue/recovery (surface and sub-surface) for Larimer County, Colorado. They have been in existence since 1972. The current level of training and expertise within the team is on the same level or higher than many paid organizations.
