Date:13/07/03 Launch time:11:30 Recovery time:12:04
Wind speed: 3 Wind direction: E
Sea state: Moderate
Weather: Fine Visibility: Good Casualty
iver/Dive boat
Location: Peveril Ledge
Crew: S. Williams, K. Dimarco (Helm), G. Steeden
Details: Portland Coastguard requested the immediate launch of the D Class inshore lifeboat
to go the assistance of 2 persons reported in difficulties in Peveril Ledge.
The 2 people turned out to be 2 divers whose surface marker buoy had become caught on the hull of a passing catamaran.
Both divers were recovered safe and well and returned to their boat.
Once all the divers in the party were accounted for the lifeboat was released and returned to station.
Could have been a nasty situation.
Cheers
Bob
