Duikers bied hul dienste gratis aan

Leandrea Mouers
’n Maatskappy in Walvisbaai het aangekondig dat hulle hul reddingsdienste as duikers gratis aan gemeenskappe sal bied wat nie toegang tot dié dienste het nie.

Die eienaar van Monarch Lifeguard and Emergency Services, Marthin Muyenga, het gesê hul besluit het ten doel om die kritieke behoefte aan bekwame duikers in die land te takel.

“In reaksie op die groeiende vraag na soek- en reddingsoperasies, bied Monarch dié dienste gratis aan die publiek om die leemte aan beskikbare duikers te help oorbrug. Gemeenskappe wat nie hierdie dienste naby hulle beskikbaar het nie, kan ons bel en ons sal na hulle toe gaan,” het hy gesê.

Hy het ook gesê: “Met ’n span hoogs opgeleide duikers en ses volledig toegeruste gesertifiseerde professionele persone, is ons gereed vir noodgevalle landswyd.”

“Die tekort aan duikers in ons land is ’n uitdaging vir talle gemeenskappe wat waterverwante noodgevalle in die gesig staar. Deur hierdie diens gratis te verskaf, beoog Monarch om plaaslike owerhede en gemeenskappe in hul pogings te ondersteun om veiligheid en sekuriteit in die omgewing van watermassas te verbeter,” het hy bygevoeg.

Hy het opgemerk dat hy al aan verskeie soek- en herwinningsoperasies langs die kus deelgeneem het.

“Dit het duidelik geword dat daar ’n dringende behoefte is aan meer bekwame duikers om hierdie kritieke kwessie te takel. Die behoefte strek verder as net kusdorpe en bereik selfs binnelandse gebiede waar noodgevalle kan voorkom. Gedurende die reënseisoen stroom die oproepe vir hulp in, wat die tekort aan duikers in ons land verder beklemtoon.”

Die maatskappy het sedertdien ’n aansienlike belegging in duiktoerusting gemaak om die gemeenskappe in tye van nood meer doeltreffend te bedien.

“Dit is my passie en ek is verbind daartoe om voort te gaan om te help met soek- en herwinningspogings en om meer duikers op te lei en toe te rus om by hierdie belangrike werk aan te sluit. Saam kan ons ’n betekenisvolle verskil maak en lewens in ons gemeenskappe red.”

Verder ondergaan die duikers van Monarch streng opleiding en sertifisering om te verseker dat hulle voorbereid is vir enige situasie wat hulle mag teëkom.

“Ons hoop deur hierdie diens aan te bied, kan ons ’n positiewe impak in ons land maak en help om lewens te red en materiaal te herwin in tye van nood. Ons is gretig om saam met plaaslike gemeenskappe of organisasies te werk om hierdie waardevolle diens te lewer en by te dra tot ’n veiliger en beter voorbereide samelewing.”
