New safety equipment requirements on Sky Dancer
Effective Dec 3, 2006 each diver is required to bring and dive with these 3 personal safety devices on every dive:
- Dive Alert - This is an air powered surface signaling a loud shout or whistle.
- Inflatable Safety Sausage (Surface Marker Buoy) - a bright orange or yellow tube
- Mini-Strobe - this compact marker strobe flashes a light at regular intervals.
Divers who do not have this required equipment will not be allowed to dive. We will maintain a limited inventory on each vessel for rental but we strongly encourage you to get your own, and be familiar with it. A "Surface Safety Package" that includes all three items will rent for $30 on a 7 night trip and $53 for a 10 night trip (excluding any taxes). This new policy does implement a modest rental charge for guests who arrive without the equipment. However, it ensures that every diver will enter/exit the water with the best possible tools for coping with an unforeseen emergency.
