Brunswick Commercial and Government Products, a division of Brunswick Corp., recently delivered two 750 Impact rigid hull inflatable boats to the country of Jordan.

The boats will be used for dive- and rescue operations at popular dive spots.

The two vessels are powered by a Cummins 5.9-liter, 355-hp inboard diesel engine and propelled by Ultra Jet 305 water jets. The boats feature a hydraulically actuated dive door designed to easily bring injured divers on backboards onto the boat for medical attention and transportation.
