JRB Operating Procedures Outline
OVERTURNED BOATS
When approaching overturned boats, do so slowly and from astern as there may be persons in the
water around the boat.
Ropes, etc. will contribute to a dangerous situation.
Rescue all persons as required from a safe distance.
Ensure all persons are accounted for. If not, radio for immediate assistance.
Persons may be trapped inside the overturned hull. Care must be exercised performing this task.
Both crewperson and diver should swim to the hull with mask, snorkel, flippers and knife. A torch is
useful to give better light. The diver checks inside and the crewperson stands by to assist if the diver
gets into any difficulty. The diver may use scuba equipment to check the hull. He must, however,
have a lifeline to the JRB and have the assistance of the crewperson.
