VRA DIVERS
VRA Divers undertake a wide range of operations including recovery of
persons and vehicles, searches for objects and other specialist tasks.
Most operations are undertaken at the direction of the NSW Police who are
responsible for all search and recovery operations. VRA Divers also provide
safety to a number of sporting events including the Australian Formula
One powerboat races.
