ZAZZU

TZ Divers conducted a shallow water coral inspection dive in 30 feet to inspect coral formations off Isla Mujeres.

The warm waters and clear conditions were ideal for the single dive.

“ Come up as fast as you went down! ”

TZJC members took part in this operation. The operation was conducted with safety protocols and participation by all TZ members.

DEPARTMENTS

TZ Aquanautics is ready to operate in water of any temperature, conduct operation in aquatic environments ranging from high altitude scuba and skin diving to whitewater paddle-boarding. TZ Aquanauts deploy in support of the community during rescue and recovery operations

Features

SEABASE SENTRY: TZ Aquanauts train for conducting multiple duties including underwater searches, overhead flights, and rapid action.
Keywords: - Readiness - - Aquanautics - - Search and Rescue -
TZA mixed multiple training actions to simulate conditions of fatigue, response, readiness, and control needed during aquanautic search exercises.

SALVAGE SUBMERSION: TZ Aquanatics were required to locate and enter a submerged twin-engine 10-seat Beech C185 at a depth of 55 feet, deploy an experimental sensor tray, and conduct simulated emergency search and rescue dives acting as an air-deployed "feet wet" rapid reaction force under live-fire conditions.

The Aquatics phase of Jump and Thump took place over the course of two days. Subsequent dives required participants to locate a sunken rowboat at 80 feet and prepare entry into an underwater vent pipe leading to a cave with extreme restrictions at 140 feet, all part of a vast underground system of water connecting seven sister lakes nestled among the surrounding red mesas.

CORANADO COOPERATIVE: A multi-day event involving TZMP and TZA activities. Participants engaged an early morning 18-mile ride under pack on bicycle carrying a TZ underwater submersible sensor package to the forward disembarkation point. The dive profile involved a two-site two-site day ending with a return 18-mile return ride.
