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.
