4 point dive boat

Dive boats used what is known as a 4 point anchoring system. There are anchors
on each of the four points of the vessel that are set out in a way that when pulled
tight will hold the vessel in place. It is so divers are able to work at a specific
location. Placing the anchors and picking them up is a precise and exacting job.
There are pipelines and valves on bottom that one does not want the anchors to catch on.
