Proposition for a diving boat at the CERN Scuba Club
Guy, Denis, Mike
Slide2Why a Club Dive Boat?
Open up many options for
diving in our local
regionSurface
security
for
delicate and difficult divese.g. Chindrieux, HirondelleAccess to various interesting dive sitesLac Bourget, Lac Annecy, Lac VoglansTry some new dive sites, away from Hermance!Dive school trainingP1 first boat diving experienceP2, P3 school exercisesPossible Hermance shuttle
Slide3What local diving did we do in 2014?
Statistics taken
from club records, since 23/7/2014
until 2/11/2014 (private
dives not
counted
).Hermance: 29 sorties clubP2 + P3 schools on same evening counted as 1 sortieAverage number of participants: 6 Peak number of participants: 13Lac Bourget: 2 sorties club1 Chindrieux and 1 Pierre a BiseAverage number of participants: 10Dives for Nitrox training: 4Average number of participants: 13

Slide8Dive sites of our region, Lac Bourget
Large zone to explore on West « cote sauvage »Surface security
at Chindrieux
Slide9Type of boat and budget
RIB (semi-rigid),
well adapted for
diving, light to transport by trailer
Length 6.5m, Width 2.5m max, Weight < 750kg Authorised capacity 12 persons, or 8 equipped divers Outboard motor power ~100cv On trailer for transport Equipped for diving, tank rack, ladder, safety
gear
Budget for a
quality
second hand boat: Euro 15,000
Slide10Parking/Storage, Transport & registration
Parking space available at the Kayak club
Same car park, right next to our clubSafe storage of valuable equipment
Boat deployment mobility
On trailer
Ready
to exploredive sites of our regionNo expenses for port mooring fees Ease of boat maintenance The boat stays dry and sheltered from bad weather Less work to keep boat hull clean (carenage) Trailer registration, can be on F or CH plates with own papers Boat registration in France http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F1601.xhtml
Slide11Operational expenses
Boat
Insurance ~300 Euro/year
Estimated
fuel
costs
for 1 days diving ~ 40 Euros Annual motor maintenace, done by a professional Periodic technical control for trailerBoat running expenses should be covered by the users, rather than being a burden on the club budgetSimplest solution, calculate a reasonable annual « forfait » to be paid with club inscription, for those members wishing to participate in boat outings
Slide12Operational Logistics
Owning
and running a boat will require
the motivation and good will of several
members
Need for members with car equipped with trailer hook Need for members with boat licence (we have many!) Require lakeside ports with easy public access and possibility
to
park
car and
trailer
nearby
Time
overhead
for a boat
outing
should
not
be
under
estimated
.
Easily
taking
up a full
day
B
oat
should
be
made
available
to
ALL INTERESTED MEMBERS!
Slide13The alternatives to a club boat
Some boat services exist in the region, such as Haut Savoi
Plongee The cost of these services is approximately 30 Euros for a single dive, per diver.
Choice of dive sites and available dates is limited and requires significant advanced planning
In practice we no not make more than 2 dives of this type per year, and with limited participation (private invitation)
One day boat rental in the region for a suitable dive boat costs
approximately 400 Euros It is practically impossible to find a rental boat which is suitably equipped for diving
Slide14Impact on club funds
A 15,000 Euro budget certainly
a big long term
investment
Can
only be approved by the members at the AGM The club is now in a comfortable financial position Affordable budget without unbalancing other budgets, such as money aside for a serious compressor failure Recent investments, new Nitrox
compressor
and in
renewing
good
quality
BCDs
and cold water
regulators
All CERN clubs are non-profit associations
Surplus
funds
should
not
exceed
reasonable
levels
The
committee
is
seeking
ways
to
invest
club
funds
in the
interests
of the
members
diving
activity
Money
invested
can
be
recuperated
,
if
necessary
to
sell
the boat at a
later
date
Slide15Finding the right second hand boat
Long
term investment, Important to
make the right choice!
Elect
a « boat committee » of 4 persons, responsible for discussing the best choice of boat, and reseaching offers Draw upon the experience of other boat owners, such as the CERN sailing clubWinter period is an ideal time to search for interesting second hand boat offersIt would be prudent to hire the services of a boat surveyor before purchase
Slide16Conclusions
Local club diving
is currently
polarised around Hermance
A club dive boat
would
open up new diving possibilities with the significant added value of surface security Clear solutions available for storage and deployment Operational logistics should not be under estimated, but are easily manageable if
members
are
motivated
We are a large club with sufficient surplus funds to finance this project,
if
so desired
Having
a dive boat in the club will be FUN!
