THE UNDERWATER GUN RUN IN AID OF HELP THE HERO'S @ THE UNDERWATER STUDIO'S 24TH & 25TH SEPTEMBER 2011





We need to get a team of 4 x divers who will be willing to take up this challenge.

We are only allowed to enter one team so get your names down on the form in the shop - then we will then put your names in a hat a pick the team.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES


  • A team of 4 divers are to move steel cannon around a fixed course in the fastest time possible.

  • Lift bags are to be used to lift the cannon over a series of obstacles.

  • There are 4 obstacles that require the cannon to be lifted over.

  • 2 obstacles that require the cannon to be disassembled to allow the cannon through.

  • And finally 1 obstacle that requires the cannon to be taken through positioned at approx 3m off the bottom of the pool.

  • Time is added for faults with the overall time being the actual time taken plus the time faults added.

  • The winners are the team with the fastest time.

  • During the challenge each member of the team must take the same route as the cannon if divers do not replicate the canon time penalties will be added.

  • The weight of the canon will be provided and each team will be responsible for rigging and lifting the cannon with there own lift bags.

  • There will be a maximum time limit for the run any teams who do not complete the run in the maximum time will have a time penalty added.

  • Course layout to be confirmed detailed prior to start.

  • Each team will be briefed prior to them entering the water.

  • It is envisaged that we will be able to accommodate a maximum of 25 teams per day over the 2 days.

The entrance fee per team is £50.00 with all this money going to HELP THE HERO'S (which Newhaven Scuba Centre will be paying) so all we need from you are some serious participants.


This event will be streamed live over the internet and hope to have television coverage of this event.
