Idaho River Rescue L.L.C  Rescue Training & Education

Our Whitewater Rescue courses are designed specifically for raft guides, private boaters and fish and game personnel. They are intensive hands on classes.

Upon completion, students receive a certificate from Rescue 3 International.

Whitewater Rescue Technician is a 2 1/2 to 3 day course with the first day in class and day's 2 & 3 on the water. We emphasize the universal rescue philosophy and low to high risk rescue options. This course covers everything from preplan, scene size-up, medical considerations, anchors and mechanical advantage systems, channel crossing options for personnel and lines, entrapments and many forms of contact rescue. We also have a strainer swim for added fun and excitement and much more.

Students are encouraged to bring their own gear to practice with.
