Air & Life Support Systems
Built-in cascade air systems and rewind reels, so divers have surface-supplied air the moment they're ready.
Dive & Rescue Trucks
A rescue is only as fast as the truck that gets your team (and their air) to the water's edge.
Built for the Water's Edge
Getting there is only half the job. Arriving ready to work? That’s how you get the job done.
Off-Road & Water's Edge Access
4x4 capability and staging-ready design for reaching launch points that standard vehicles can't.
Wet Gear & Equipment Storage
Dedicated wet storage, dry box compartments, shelving, and tool storage, organized so everything is at your fingertips.
Personnel Seating & Capacity
From a small response team to a full crew with equipment, storage, seating, and cab configuration built around your unit's size and needs.
Scene Lighting
Quick-raise light poles and scene lighting illuminate a work area on or near water, day or night.
Readiness Begins Before You Reach the Water
Most dive truck problems surface when a team arrives on-scene and has to improvise around a build that wasn't designed for the real-life demands of water rescue.
We start every build with your team's workflow: how many divers you're deploying, which equipment needs to be staged and in what order, and the conditions you're most likely to face, so you’ll end up with a truck organized for your team and their dives.
Built to Get to the Water
Since boat launches, riverbanks, piers, and remote shorelines don't always come with a paved lot, a truck that can't get close enough to stage presents a pretty serious problem.
Our dive trucks feature 4x4 capability and off-road-ready chassis options, so your team can stage directly at the water's edge instead of hauling gear the last quarter-mile. Diamond-plate, non-skid roof surfaces with tie-downs also let departments carry an inflatable boat when the scene calls for it.
No Air, No Dive
Everything else in a dive truck build supports one system: keeping your divers supplied with air, reliably, for as long as it takes.
We integrate cascade air systems and electric rewind air line reels directly into the build, along with pre-wire provisions for communications radios, so your surface team can stay in contact with divers. Air supply is designed into the vehicle from the very first spec.
Sized for Your Dives
The right chassis depends on how many divers you're deploying and how much gear they need.
Single-Cabs
Ford E450 and similar chassis for smaller departments; typically seats 3-5 responders.
Crew Cabs
Ford F-550 and similar chassis for mid-size teams needing more seating without stepping up to a full commercial platform.
Full Commercial Chassis
Freightliner MT-55 and similar for larger departments deploying a full team with equipment.

We'll talk through your team size, equipment load, weather, and terrain to build the exact truck you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
How large are most dive trucks?
It depends on your team size and equipment load. Smaller departments often run a single-cab platform seating 3 to 5 responders, while larger teams need a full commercial chassis to carry more personnel and gear.
How long does it take to build a custom dive truck?
Timelines vary, but you can shorten the process by deciding on your required equipment and preferred chassis early. Both decisions narrow the build significantly before we start.
What features are most common on a dive truck?
Most builds include an oxygen refilling or cascade air system, wet gear storage, shelving, personnel seating, emergency lighting, and a generator or alternative power source. Specific features vary based on your team's needs.
Can you work within our procurement or bid process?
Yes. We regularly provide documentation and specifications formatted for RFP and competitive bid review.
Is a CDL required to drive this vehicle?
Depends on the chassis and your state's licensing requirements. We'll flag any CDL implications during the spec process so it's never a surprise after delivery.
Is a dive truck the same as a water rescue vehicle?
Not exactly. A dive truck is built specifically to support a dive team, air systems, wet gear storage, and staging at a launch point. "Water rescue vehicle" is a broader category that can also include swiftwater or flood-response vehicles designed for different conditions. If your team needs dedicated dive support, this is the right build to start from.
