    The Extractor Sled has survived the reef rock at JAWS TWICE!-

  • Extractor can be used in Kite Boarding (Launching Platform- Rescue Pickup)
  • Our Pro Sled model is ideal for Foil Boarding (Launching Platform- Rescue Pickup)
  • and the Extractor Rescue Sled is great for SCUBA Diving (Dive Resorts- reef shuttle)
  • Great for shuttling one or two divers on a sled from the shore or river bank to the reef location where dive buoys are present. The PWC/ Sled combo costs less to operate than a larger dive boat and a pwc does not have any propellers in the water which could cause potential injury to the divers in the water. Optimum for resorts with nearby reefs and shallow waters with lots of sea life. Great for remote resort locations with beaches and where boat ramps or docks are not near or available.
    Divers can slide easily on and off the sled because the sled is at water level. The speed and maneuverability of the pwc and sled allows the operator to quickly transport dive groups to and from nearby reefs within a couple of minutes. PWC operators can standby as as needed.
    Divers can ride comfortably without having to remove tanks or gear until reaching safely back to shore. The recreational use of the craft automatically doubles as its original use as a rescue craft should emergencies arise. The sled has ample room, flotation and stability for trained operators to perform CPR, and the pwc/sled combo has been recognized worldwide as the most efficient first response water rescue craft. A great lifesaving asset for any dive resort!

 

  • Snorkeling- (A terrific rental activity for Resorts, Tourist Excursions- reef shuttle)
Great for shuttling one or two snorkelers on a sled from the shore or river bank to the reef location. The PWC/ Sled combo costs less to operate than a larger dive boats and a pwc does not have any propellers in the water which could cause potential injury to the snorkelers in the water. Optimum for resorts with nearby reefs and shallow waters with lots of sea life. Great for remote resort locations with beaches and where boat ramps or docks are not near or available. Snorkelers can slide easily on and off the sled because the sled is at water level. The speed and maneuverability of the pwc and sled allows the operator to quickly transport snorkelers to and from nearby reefs within a couple of minutes. PWC operators can standby as as needed. Snorkelers can ride comfortably.
The snorkelers slide off of the sled upon arrival to the reef. They can either snorkel adjacent to the sled or in a nearby location. The sled is great for snorkelers who can swim but are uncomfortable in the environment and want a flotation device next to them while they snorkel. The snorkelers can view the underwater life without leaving the sled by holding onto the provided handgrips and by looking under the water with their masks. PWC operators can troll at no-wake speeds while the snorkelers view the underwater life. This constant forward movement gives the snorkelers the feeling of swimming with the fish!
 
When finished snorkeling, the snorkelers simply slide up onto the sled and the pwc operator can safely transport them back to shore. The recreational use of the craft automatically doubles as its original use as a rescue craft should emergencies arise. The sled has ample room, flotation and stability for trained operators to perform CPR, and the pwc/sled combo has been recognized worldwide as the most efficient first response water rescue craft. A great lifesaving asset for any dive resort!
