For a few years my club went to the Farnes we chartered a boat and took the RIB, total 18 divers.

It was only after an incident that I realised that the Skipper didn't carry O2 and actually he hadn't been asked if he carried it, maybe we took it for granted or maybe we just didn't think. Obviously as a club we had our own set.

Now I would hope that all Skippers if they are licenced to carry divers, would also take the responsibility and have an O2 set on board.

If I were booking a Charter boat for the first time I would ask and if he didn't I would choose another boat.
