Navigational equipment onboard includes Garmin GPS unit to locate dive sites, Hummingbird echo sounder to find wrecks on the sea bottom, compass & DSC VHF radio.
We carry safety equipment including SOLAS B 10-person life raft, life rings, TPAs, flares, lifejackets, full first aid kit & the all important divers oxygen therapy unit.
The RIB is fully kitted out for divers, with a bottle rack for secure cylinder storage.
Revamped in 2006, we also have a specially designed ladder to assist getting back in after dives and a full perspex screen and stainless steel frame attached to the centre console to reduce spray. In 2007 she had brand new sponsons fitted to comply with MCA rulings.
Because our RIB is moored within Shoreham Harbour we can get out at any state of tide. For RYA Powerboat courses, if the weather is too rough we can carry out exercises in the canal or river. |
