Helen makes a good point; I infact wouldn't anchor or tie off the RHIB while divers are in the water;

Although the idea of the anchor to bouy and lazy line is a good one, for me it's a compromise, albeit a small one. I keep the boat running to ensure there's no chance of engine starting problems in case of an emergency pick up...

Keeping mobile also allows you to just stand off the bouy, keeping watch for traffic, enebling you to put yaurself between divers/bouy and any craft that ingnore your A flag as well as help position the RHIB if it's a bit choppy...
