forward with the busses
We have now taken out the engines and shafts
from the single and double Decker busses. Work is now well underway
to getting the attractions ready to be lowered into the water.
These busses will not only be new underwater
attractions. They will also be swim through attractions and fantastic
training platforms, each capable of taking 20 students at a time.
The first bus is a traditional 56-seater single
deck bus that weighs in at an impressive 6.5 tonnes has been used
in active service throughout Cardiff over the past 15 years. She
has clocked up an impressive 500,000 km so I’m sure some of you
may have even travelled on her at some stage!
The second vehicle is an impressive Double-deck
bus; she seats around 60 to 80 passengers, It is around 10 meters
in length, 4.5 meters high and her gross weight is around 12 tonnes.
Over the coming months we continue to make
the buses fit for purpose. We believe this will not only provide
a stable, safe and exciting training platform but also to act as
a swim through attraction for the more confident divers amongst
you. So whilst our students are conducting their skills and drills
above you could be swimming through underneath them, how cool is
that! You won’t even need a ticket.
