Boats The club has two boats, both of which are kept permanently moored in Brighton marina. For club holidays and long weekends we have a couple of road trailers that we use for transporting them to more remote locations. Humber The full specification is as follows:-
This is a broad-beamed boat, with a Glass Re-enforced Plastic (GRP) hull and inflatable tubes. It has been fitted out with a centre console panel, bottle rack and 'A' frame.
The boat is capable of taking 8 divers, plus cox to an offshore site. For inshore waters it will allow a maximum of 10 divers plus cox. Sussex Diver (Text here)
Compressor Sussex Diving Club have their own compressor. Most members have been trained in the safe operation of the compressor and pump their own cylinders as and when required. If you require training in the use of the compressor, this can be arranged through the Arch Liaison officer. If you require your own set of keys to the arch, you should request a set from the arch liaison officer. A deposit (currently £10) will be charged and this is refundable when you return the keys. Keys will be available on completion of the compressor course. The compressor may only be operated by trained members and it is the clubs policy to ensure that there are at least two trained members in attendance when pumping is in progress. For more information about compressor courses, please contact Tim Venables. Remember that only cylinders that are in test and stamped clearly with the latest date will be pumped. It is your responsibility to ensure that your own cylinders are in test. At the start of the season additional safety devices were purchased. Both boats are now equipped with a backup hand-held radio and hand-held GPS system. These are stored in the dry-box for each boat.
