Water Rescue, Water Access & Hire

Square Knot provides water rescue teams, water access and specialist equipment hire for events, productions, construction projects and other operations involving water.

Our water rescue teams can provide safety and rescue cover on rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals and other inland waterways, with personnel selected according to the environment and operational requirements. We can also provide rescue boats, safety boats and specialist water access, allowing teams, equipment and medical resources to reach areas that may be difficult to access by road or on foot.

Our hire service includes specialist water safety and rescue equipment such as drysuits, buoyancy aids, lifejackets, throwbags and other operational equipment, providing a practical solution for organisations that need the right equipment without the cost of purchasing and maintaining it themselves.

Where required, water rescue, water access, medical cover and equipment hire can be combined into a single operational package.
