Polar Bear Plunge ~2016~ Point Pleasant Beach...



The Elks held their annual "Polar Bear Plunge" at Jenkinson's last week and the Dive team & First-aid team provided support and protection...





Water temp was 34'degrees and there was a turnout of approximately 50-60 people who spent a "Short" time in the water. Several people returned to the water once they saw the Dive team assemble to take a group photo. 




Besides being a great opportunity to serve the public, this was yet another training session for the crews to work together and use equipment and practice skills...






New addition to the Dive team is a 5-ton truck that incorporated in the beach duty and performed very well. This gave team members the opportunity to use this new equipment and to get everybody up to speed on it's capabilities...





Truck and crews performed flawlessly only after proper inspection of "Terra firma" and foundation was completed...
