The club owns a 6 metre Humber RIB (ridged inflatable boat) with two 50 hp engines. It is the responsibility of the Boat Officer to keep the boat in top sea-worthy condition. The Dive Marshall is responsible for re-fuelling and re-oiling the boat, also the wash down and general putting away of the boat after each use. The maximum number of divers allowed on the boat for a dive is 6 with one non-diving boat handler. The boat can only be used with the permission of the Diving Officer, even for non-diving events such as guard boat duty for racing events.
To use the club boat you must satisfy the Diving Officers requirements of being a proficient boat handler, oxygen administrator, first aider and a VHF operator, along with a safe diving plan with divers who are comfortable to do the dive. For a boat dive to be sanctioned by the Diving Officer use the same procedure as a shore-dive, - by dive sheet or a phone call.
The boat is kept in the harbour property along side the clubhouse.
