Hi
I know I'll probably run into super useful people at the weekend....but just incase they are unable to help...
I'm in need of borrowing (ideally purchasing) a Nicola phone (or hey phone) for a dive team who are operating beyond quite long and deep sumps. Our trip heads out at the end of August.
In the past I've used the old fashioned hey phone (grunter phone) which worked ok but I get the feeling that it is a little outdated now and a bit clumsy to dive through 2km of sump.
I've pinged an email to Dave Gibson to see if he can give me any pointers - but I don't have a contact for Graham Naylor.
I've explained to the team (mainly Dutch) that one does not simply buy a Nicola phone off the shelf and they are pretty much made to order for rescue teams (at least, that is my understanding - I'm happy to be corrected!).
I'm aware of plenty of groups who are able to source them for radio locations like ours and exploratory projects, so it must be possible to source them somewhere.
The team is fortunate that money is far less of an issue than technological know how. I certainly couldn't build one of these, but will need to find someone who can.
If anyone thinks they will be able to offer some assistance, please drop me a PM.
