Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate, immediate support for families in distress, navigate the complexities of underwater search amd recovery, and bring closure to those who have lost loved ones in water accidents.
What it reported doing in 2025
Angels recovery dive team (ardt) is a dive rescue and recovery organization dedicated to bringing closure to familes who have lost a loved one to the water. In 2025, ardt conducted 17 search and recovery operations across California, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, and Illinois. Of the 21 individuals searched for, our team successfully located 10. Some operations take days and weeks, because we stand by our mission and remain dedicated to bringing closure to every family we serve. Every operation is a community effort. We work closely with the familes, local volunteers, friends, and community members surrounding each case. Their knowledge of the area, their support on the ground and their dedication alongside our dive team is what makes each operation possible. We don't just show up to the search, we become part of the community until the job is done.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
