    Cruise ship rescues divers, boat lost - Wilsons Promontory National Park, Australia

    @DandyDon link is from news.com.au I will leave it at that. From the video the dinghy looks to be similar to the 2:5 metres ones that Whitworths sell for people to go ashore on when anchored somewhere calm and sheltered. At one point in the video you can see the transom but no motor

    Twenty Three Years - The Rouses

    Going off thread and dragging up history here and an almost 6 year old thread but one of the things that came out of the USCG hearings into the Bounty was that the ship was not fit to put to see in those conditions.

    Anchors and ladders for a 12' RIB

    Another thing to think about is what are you going to tie the anchor rode off to on the RIB. Do not use anything that is only glued on. The glue will eventually fail. Try and avoid running the rode over the pontoon material if possible. This will become an exercise to see what wears out first as...

    Gun and Ammunition Found on Dive

    Possibly, the Lee-Enfield Magazine Rifle Mark I was produced In 1900. It had a detachable 10-round magazine box. It was made available for colonial troops.

    Boat Rental and Experienced Divers

    Just to be pedantic when you say surf I assume you mean waves and swell. A few random thoughts, and I have no knowledge of Florida diving conditions and boating regulations. 1. The thought of drift diving without a competent boat driver scares me, they need to be able to follow your bubbles/...
