Obstruction Search and Removal...

.



The Dive Team took the opportunity of a reported obstruction in a marked channel at a local marina and use it as a training scenario in search and recovery...
Team members responded with Rescue 34 inflatiable and equipment to search the area outside of Jersey Shore Marina off of Route 70 in Brick, N.J.

Several search techniques and patterns were used and after 45 nminutes the obstruction was located and removed. Several boats from the Jersey Shore Marina had reported hitting an object while operating in the channel just outside the marina. Damage to props and hulls were reported by several boat owners at the marina...



Located within the marked channel was a large metal Crab trap that has been hit numerous times. The trap was found partially submerged and it was evident that the object had been hit many times....
