Perseverance is a 7m RIB. She is not actually our own boat, we have her on loan from the 1st Standlake & Cokethorpe Sea Scout Group after agreeing to overhaul and maintain her.
Capable of 30-40 knots and carrying 8-10 divers she is a highly useful boat. Here are some photos from sea trials on the Solent following maintainence.
The plan is to do some easy wreck diving – Countess of Erne and the Hartlepool on Saturday and on Sunday venture slightly further round Portland if possible to the James Fennel, finishing up with a drift (and maybe scallops) on Grove Point. All dives will be under 20m, so suitable for all grades.
I’m planning (weather-permitting) to run a survey dive on the Alex on the weekend of the 3rd & 4th December. Plan is to use the ‘new’ RIB out of Casteltown to shuttle to the dive site.
