The club operates a 7.25 m Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), fitted with a 185 horsepower diesel inboard engine. This provides a combination of seaworthiness, speed, reliability and economy, which is unmatched by any other club owned boat in the area. If you're not familiar with boats, its bigger and faster than the RNLI RIB operated from Poole (shown in the background). To aid in navigation and dive site location the boat is equipped with: An Eagle Differential Global Positioning System DGPS), which allows us to know exactly where the boat is and to refind dive sites with a minimum of effort; A hummingbird echo sounder, to locate wrecks and establish the depth of water before diving. Safety is also of paramount importance, so the boat has: A VHF radio; A full set of flares; An oxygen administration set for the initial treatment of Decompression Sickness.Hummingbird (the boats name) allows the club to dive all of the well known and some of the less well known dive sites in the area. Take a look at the dive programme! For more details contact us
