Marine Rescue Brunswick will bolster its rescue capability with a new state-of-the-art life-saving device after being awarded an Australian Government Stronger Communities Grant. Marine Rescue NSW Northern Rivers Zone Duty Operations Manager John Murray said the Federal Government grant has aided the unit to purchase the Marine Rescue Northern Rivers region’s first ever USafe, a motorised remote controlled lifebuoy for rescue missions on local waterways including the Brunswick River, Simpsons Creek, Marshalls Creek and offshore.

Congrats @DerekD – well deserved! I'm going to organise a free year of DECKEE Supporter Club membership for you, so you can access all the extra features the DECKEE app has to offer on and off the water. I'll send you a message now. 🫡

Everyone has a different interpretation of this question, and it has been hotly debated by the DECKEE team this week. Now it's your turn... 🤪

saft.mp4 Hi everyone – we've got an important free update to the DECKEE app today. Boating safety equipment requirements are complex and vary significantly based on the type of watercraft you own, the state you are in, and the specific location you intend to visit or explore. It has always been confusing to understand what rules and regulations apply to your circumstances, and hefty fines can be issued if you're caught missing mandatory safety items on board. The new Prepare section in the DECKEE mobile app finally makes it easy for you to know exactly what mandatory safety equipment you need according to official government regulations, personalised to your watercraft and the waterbody you intend to navigate. Will this come in handy for you?

Looks like quite a few people took Friday afternoon off for some time on the water, and are putting On Water Detection through its paces! 😀 See for yourself in the free DECKEE app, or at deckee.com/maps.

Thanks @mrsswordfisherman! Keen to hear ideas from everybody on how we could improve it. Let us know your thoughts. 🤔

Thanks for sharing this idea @XD351! It's a good one. Right now we've got a big focus on delivering massive deals on fishing and boating gear each week to the community, but leave this with me for now and I'll see what might be possible. p.s. Another big deal dropping tomorrow... stay tuned!

Hi everyone – The latest free upgrade has arrived: DECKEE now automatically activates when you are on the water, and will magically do things you often forget to do! DECKEE smartly detects when you are on the water and shares your GPS location with your Safety Contacts or the community, based on your privacy preferences. On the DECKEE map you can be anonymous, share your profile, or go completely invisible – the choice is yours. Add your private Safety Contacts so they can easily follow along whenever you're out on the water. You can get the free app here on iOS and Android: deckee.com/download You can now spot other DECKEE users on waterways around the world (or your local area) and look out for each other. With On Water Detection, now everyone can be visible on the water, not just the vessels with AIS equipment. See where everyone is boating, fishing or sailing all in one free app. If you have any thoughts or feedback on this upgrade, let me know! What could we do to improve it further?

I'm excited about this one – please let me know what you think! DECKEE now enables you to see a RISK FORECAST for open waters, personalised to your watercraft!Have you ever been caught unexpectedly in dangerous conditions? Weather is a critical part of spending time on the water, but trying to work out what the forecast means for your boat can be very challenging. Conditions can vary dramatically on open waters, and a couple of feet in boat length can be the difference between a smooth or dangerous journey.That's why we built the Open Water Risk Forecast. Our algorithm takes into account a variety of weather data factors and combines it with your boat length to assess the risk and make your decision to go boating easier.Simply adjust your watercraft length (it's easy to switch between metres and feet) and DECKEE will show you a personalised Risk Forecast for any open waters location. Check it out now in the DECKEE app, or at deckee.com/maps/weather. Will you find this useful? Let me know!

Hi everyone! Unfortunately some of you may have noticed a bit of down-time here today. We're sorry about that. The good news is that the updates to the community forum web address have been completed – community.deckee.com is now the name you will see in the URL bar. If you go to fishraider.com.au or any other Fishraider link, you will automatically be redirected. As you can see, the forums you all know and love are still here, and everything should be working as per usual. Thank you all for your support throughout this transition – a new chapter begins! Mike

Thanks for the feedback @XD351!
