Garden State Underwater Recovery Unit is an emergency response unit that specializes in water related events. Whether recovering drowning victims, rescuing people or animals that have fallen through the ice, or evacuating families from floods, GSURU members are always ready to help. We also support the community by providing water-safety training, water-safety at triathlon events, property recovery, and assisting law enforcement in underwater evidence searches.

We’ve responded to over 1,400 water-related emergencies since 1960, and are one of the oldest, non-profit water rescue units in the United States. Our dedicated volunteers include highly-skilled divers, boat operators, mechanics and sonar technicians. Headquartered in Milford, NJ, we maintain a variety of boats and equipment that allow us to operate year-round, in the harshest water and weather conditions.

Unlike most emergency response agencies, we receive no local, state or federal funding and never charge for our services. Our annual operating expenses are funded solely through fundraising efforts and donations from generous people and businesses in the communities we serve. Your donations will be used for the maintenance of our building, rescue trucks, boats and underwater search equipment. We have existed for over 55 years because we are excellent stewards of the funds that are entrusted to us.
