IRB Driver & Crew

Take your surf and rescue skills to the next level and get out on the water in an inflatable rescue boat.

The inflatable rescue boat (IRB) is a vital piece of surf life saving equipment, requiring two people to operate. As the driver you are responsible for safely and efficiently negotiating the surf while driving the IRB and communicating effectively with the crew member to ensure the safe operation of the craft, the safety of your crew and patient/s.

The first step is to take the IRB Crew Course and that can be followed by the IRB Driver Course.

Bronze Medallion

Bronze Medallion courses are run every year at Narooma SLSC.

This is the basic course needed to become a surf lifesaver. You must be over the age of 15 to participate and during the course you will learn to demonstrate proficiency in surf awareness, survival, patrol and rescue procedures, emergency care plus anatomy and physiology.

Surf Rescue Certificate

The Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) course is the introductory award for a patrolling surf lifesaver that can be achieved from the age of 13. This course helps to prepare participants for active patrolling duties that may include: rescue skills, first aid and resuscitation.

Participants not only test their skills in practical learning but also explore the theoretical side of surf lifesaving, including safety knowledge and surf awareness.

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or ‘Drones’ are a new technology that provide greater coverage and surveillance of potential risks along our coastline.
