Saturday's patrol headed to Dancing Ledge and a report of a group coasteering in some rough conditions. The patrol arrived and gave some safety advice to the group on the sea conditions.
Shortly after the full team were tasked to Swanage Pier to meet a dive boat who had a diver airlifted to Southampton hospital after a rapid ascent missing decompression stops.
Both Swanage RNLI lifeboats were tasked to the vessel in support of the incident.
The team liaised with all those involved and the Police to establish what had caused the incident although several hours after the incident it was confirmed the male diver had had a lucky escape and their condition was not as bad as first thought.
Whilst the team was on the pier they dealt with a male with a fishing hook in their finger.
Sunday's patrol started in a similar way when they were tasked to Swanage Pier to meet a dive vessel.
Again a diver had missed a decompression stop and the crew and Coastguard liaised with a Dive Doctor in Poole. Thankfully again there was no symptoms with advice given by the Doctor , the team took details and provided further advice.
The National Maritime Operations Centre then tasked the patrol to Studland after a Digital Emergency call was received indicating a vessel was in distress.
On arrival the team searched the beach area and located a boat owner who confirmed a fault with their radio which triggered the alarm. Advice was given on drying the radio out before using it again and the patrol were released to return to the station.
