About us

The vision of establishing a dedicated Search and Rescue Unit was born from the passion and commitment of a single individual determined to serve communities in times of crisis. What began as a personal calling has grown into a structured, professional, and community-focused rescue organization.

Our core purpose is to respond to emergencies as quickly as possible, bringing assistance, hope, and closure to families facing traumatic and unforeseen circumstances. This includes:

Body recovery of drowned victims to bring closure to families and friends.

Recovering missing persons and reuniting them with their families.

Assisting with the retrieval of valuable property and objects lost in water or hazardous environments.

Providing specialised skills and resources where time, accuracy, and professionalism are critical.

Where It Started

Delta 1 Rescue Diving was founded by Andries Lee, whose journey began 15 years ago as a Police Diver. With a God-given gift and a deep sense of duty, he stepped into one of the most challenging and dangerous callings—underwater search and rescue. His dedication, combined with his desire to bring closure to families affected by drownings and other tragedies, inspired the formation of a unit built on service, integrity, and compassion.

Our Commitment

As a registered Non-Profit Organization, we are fully committed to ensuring that all funds received are used exclusively for:

Maintaining and equipping the rescue unit

Enhancing rapid response capabilities

Every contribution directly strengthens our ability to save lives and support families in their most vulnerable moments.
