Over the past several years, Dark Side Rescue (DSR) has had the privilege of training and working alongside emergency service departments across the country. Through these partnerships with Fire Rescue, Law Enforcement, private organizations, and individuals entering the Offshore Racing community, we’ve expanded our capabilities to now offer certification in Offshore Racing Rescue.
This collaboration not only enhances year-round response capabilities for public safety agencies but also provides event promoters with access to highly qualified rescue professionals—making coverage both more effective and affordable. It’s a win–win that strengthens readiness across the board.
We’re proud of how far these relationships have come and look forward to continuing to grow and expand this capability in the years ahead.
