HSE advise specific criteria must be met when conducting submerged casualty recovery.
Subsurface Rescue Recovery Hook
Combines with our Underwater Search Camera becoming an all-in-one solution for safe underwater rescue and recovery.
Uses and Applications
The hazards found in water rescue scenarios are exacerbated by the lack of visibility of what’s beneath the water surface – debris, reeds, man hole covers, etc.; all contribute to maximising the potential danger to water rescue crews when conducting submerged rescue and recovery. The Subsurface Rescue Recovery Hook combines with our Underwater Search Camera becoming an all-in-one solution for safe underwater rescue and recovery. Locate the object of your search on camera & use the attachment’s hooks to rescue and recover back up to the water surface.
How to Use
First, use the underwater search camera to locate the object of your search. A key aspect of the Subsurface Rescue Recovery Hook’s design are the sharp hooks, designed to latch onto the object and pull to the water surface. PLEASE NOTE: Hooks are very sharp – please take care when handling the attachment.
