Sri Vijaya Puram, May 22:The Directorate of Information, Publicity & Tourism, A & N Administration has informed that a ‘Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Fly Board/Water Jet Pack adventure watersports activity in A&N Islands’ has been prepared in coordination and consultation with Rashtriya Life Saving Society (India).
Fly Board/Water Jet Pack is an adventure water sports activity also known as water flight or water jet packing. The water sports combine the thrill of flight with the power propulsion that is connected to a ‘Jet Ski’ by a long hose. The Jet Ski pumps water through the hose and forces it through nozzles beneath the board, lifting the rider into the air.
The draft SOP outlines safety procedures, supervision, requirements for water jet pack/fly-board, equipment, man power, briefing procedure etc.
The draft ‘Standard Operating Procedure for Fly-Boards/Water Jet Packs in A&N Islands’ has been placed in the public domain for information of the general public/tourism stakeholders/various Departments and their feedback. The SOP is available in the official website of Directorate of IP&T https://www.andamantourism.gov.in and www.mygov.in. All feedback may be submitted to Directorate of IP&T by 25.06.2025.
