Helicopter rescue demo

[GradyDiver]

My dive buddy pointed this out to me on the neadc.org site. It sounds like a great time (how often do you get to see these demos live?). Our club meets on this day, but it might be worth blowing off for the demo.

Here is the link to the neadc page with the information: http://www.neadc.org/lng_bignews.html.

Enjoy!

North Shore Frogmen Club invites you to their annual Beach Meeting at Whites Beach, Manchester, MA. on Thursday, June 19th

This year the Frogmen have invited the United States Coast Guard Air
Wing. The USCG is going to utilize their Jay Hawk Helicopter to
demonstrate the rescue of a disabled diver. This will be a very
informative demonstration; as the rescue swimmer loads a diver into
the basket and is winched into the helicopter a USCG narrator will be
on the beach with a loud speaker detailing every action.

There will also be a simulated rescue utilizing the Coast Guard's fast
response boat, again while every detail is narrated. The demo is
going to begin at 7:30pm and promises to not only be exciting, but if
the actual need ever arises, we will have some idea of the protocol
involved.

Does anyone have any information on directions and non-resident parking near the beach? The best information I could find was at White Beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea, and it's not very helpful.

I’ve emailed one of the Froggies and asked him to respond here. Hopefully you’ll have an answer soon.

The Frogmen have pulled permits for this event, beach parking will be open for the diving community. Hope to see you all there. 8 area Fire Department Dive Teams and local harbor masters will be among the many participants.
