We are looking for fundraisers to take on this exhilarating challenge!

HOTA’s Charity ‘Dunker’ Day is on its way and we need some brave people to take it on in the name of making a difference.

When: Friday 8^th November, 1.30pm – 4.30pm

Where: Malmo Road, Hull

What: The ‘Dunker’ is the nickname for the Helicopter Underwater Escape Training Simulator (HUET). It is used to train people in the Off[1]shore Industry and is capable of a 180 degree revolution in a pool containing 250,000 litres of water. As you can imagine trying to escape from a submerged helicopter shell is not usually part of most people’s daily routine, but don’t despair we will take care of you. Participants will take part in a safety briefing before they are lowered into the water inside the helicopter shell, they will then have to escape through a window as it fills up. The second part of the challenge will see those who take part have to free themselves from the shell as it submerges and rotates, resembling a real-life emergency.

Registration fee: £10 to be donated to HOTA’s Charity of the Year

Fundraising: We ask that you aim to raise at least £100 per person as part of this challenge in aid of HEY Children's University.
