Two at the same time

Whilst the team were out last night searching around Old Harry rocks, Portland MRCC took a call from a dive boat off Anvil Point reporting a missing diver.

One end of the patch to the other and a common problem for the Coastguard in deploying assets. Rescue 106 was tasked to the missing diver but thankfully the diver was located and taken back on board his boat.

This allowed the Coastguard team and lifeboats to continue searching the area. Whilst primarily we are there to assist in the search there is a secondary task to ensure the safety of others in the search, in this case Police officers also searching.
