In a first in the country, Drishti Marine has deployed a novel apparatus, the ‘Seahorse’, a temporary floating station, at popular high-footfall beaches—namely Calangute, Candolim and Miramar in North Goa, and Baina in South Goa.
The Seahorse is a first-of-its-kind floating platform designed to act as a fully functional lifeguard post at sea. Each Seahorse unit accommodates four to six lifesavers and is equipped with a jet ski ramp, rescue boards, surfboards and rescue tubes. A jet ski is stationed on the temporary floating station’s ramp, enabling immediate response to water-related emergencies.
Once floated to a desired location, its four legs can be anchored into the seabed to hold the platform steady. Depending on depth and tidal conditions, it can be positioned 20 to 30 metres from the shore.
