Speaker:
Lt. Mike Shastany from the Laconia Fire Department spoke to the
club about the LFD's Dive Team. The Dive Team was founded by Mark Miller
in 2002. Miller had been with the department since 1987 until untimely death
while diving in March of 2004. The function of the Dive Team is to protect
the citizens and visitors to the Lakes Region. The Dive Team is funded mostly
by donations and contributions to fundraisers. They also have a corporate
sponsorship program for the Laconia Lifesaving Fund. The Dive Team is equipped
with 2 boats. One is a fiberglass unit, number 13-Boat-1. It's 22 feet long
with a center helm and extensive electronics package and 200 horsepower outboard
engine. The second is number 13-Boat-2; a Zodiac inflatable that is also
22 feet long and equipped with a 135 horsepower outboard engine. Each diver
must reach certain levels of classification, including: Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Public
Safety, Rapid Deployment Public Safety, Rapid Deployment Public Safety
Under Ice.
They are certified to participate in any rescue on Lake Winnipesaukee and any water rescue in the City of Laconia. The Dive Team operates in rescue mode the first 90 minutes and recovery mode after 91 minutes.
