Date: 30/08/03 Launch time: 17:49 Recovery time: 18:27
Wind speed: 2 Wind direction: W Sea state: Slight
Weather: Fine Visibility: Good Casualty: Diver/Dive boat
Location: 1½ Nm SW, Anvil Point
Crew: S. Williams (Helm), J. Gilmour, J. Bowry
Crew: M. Steeden (Coxn), R. Aggas, D. Corben, P. Elleray,
M. Kent, K. Dimarco, T. Pond, R. Woolford, T. Greasty
Details:
Portland Coastguard requested the launch of both of
Swanage's lifeboats to go to the assistance of a local dive
boat 'Sidewinder'.
The dive boat had been unable to locate 2 divers following
a drift dive across Swanage & Durlston Bays.
Both lifeboats launched and met up with Sidewinder and the
Police launch 'Alarm' off Anvil Point. A search area was
drawn up and the 4 boats proceeded West in a line a breast
pattern. About 10 mins into the search the crew aboard the
police boat spotted a diver's surface marker buoy.
It was quickly confirmed that these 2 divers were the ones
missing from Sidewinder.
Once it was established that no medical assistance was
required both lifeboats returned to Swanage.
