My high school French is pretty rusty and colloquial phrases are a problem. Can somebody tell me what deux chiens subaquatiques means? Can't be literal can it? Two diving dogs?

Are dogs trained to freedive?

I am french and never heard of this before. Within the context it seems you are right: must be dogs trained for water rescue.

I believe they are dogs trained to spot drowning victims, but they are by no means (free)diving. The dog-master follows search patterns in boat above the water with a dog who will try to pick-up human scent.
