Sea Base enforces a very strict weight requirement for all participants, with an absolute upper limit that is non-negotiable for safety and operational reasons.
For any individual to participate in a Sea Base adventure, they must not exceed 295 pounds. This is a firm policy, meaning that under no circumstances will anyone over this specific weight limit be permitted to take part in any program or activity.
Why the Strict Weight Limit?
The stringent weight restriction is in place primarily due to critical safety considerations and the unique nature of the remote marine environments where Sea Base adventures are conducted. These crucial reasons include:
- Rescue Equipment Limitations: The specialized rescue equipment utilized by Sea Base has definitive weight capacities. Adhering to the 295-pound limit ensures that, in the event of an emergency, all individuals can be safely and effectively assisted and managed by the available gear.
- Challenges of Remote Site Evacuation: Many Sea Base activities unfold in remote marine locations. These environments can make emergency evacuations complex and resource-intensive. The established weight limit helps guarantee that all participants can be safely and efficiently evacuated if the need arises, without exceeding the capabilities of available transport or rescue personnel.
This unwavering policy is fundamental to ensuring the well-being of all participants and the effective execution of the high-adventure programs. It ensures that safety protocols and emergency procedures can be reliably implemented for every individual on an adventure.
