In marine rescue, this hull penetration system delivers light and breathable air into the air pocket of a capsized vessel, prolonging survival time of persons trapped there and optimising the vessel's buoyancy. The device is mechanically fastened onto the vessel's exposed hull. A drill bit, mounted through the device, is used to bore a hole through the hull into the air pocket without allowing escape of air during or after penetration. Air can be added to or vexed from the air pocket, and special purpose tubes (included with the system) may be inserted into the hull, through an airtight seal in the device. Lights and audio video equipment are mounted in the end of the special purpose tube protruding into the air pocket. Compressed air from portable tanks powers the fastening tool and supplies air for the air pocket, making the system practicable for marine rescue and marine salvage.
