Meet The Team

Every crew member donates their time and skills to save and protect lives along our coastline. We currently have 20 boat crew in addition to shore support crew, fundraisers, trustees and committee members, all of whom bring a wide range of skills and experiences to the overall team. Together the team ensures the boat and crew are ready to respond on a 24 hours-a-day basis, 365 days a year.

In addition to our local volunteers, we also are particularly proud that we have the support of our Medical Advisors. These professionals volunteer their time to guide us, assist us with our training and they ensure that our medical standards remain exceptionally high. This is important for us as a high proportion of our “shouts” are medical emergencies to stricken scuba divers.
