A one-day course for anyone going to sea, providing an understanding of how to use the safety equipment on board your boat.

​

A genuine lifesaver!

​

Cruising is one of the safest leisure sporting activities, and 99.9% of those afloat will never use their liferaft. However, if you are part of the unlucky 0.1% your chances of survival will be greatly increased if you understand how to use the equipment and how to help yourself.

​

It is a well-proven fact that, in the event of an emergency at sea, people with training are more likely to survive.

​

This course is taught with some classroom input, but an important part

of the course is a practical session in a swimming pool. Experience first

hand the problems of entering an uncooperative liferaft and assisting

others while fully kitted out in wet weather gear and a lifejacket.

​

We will supply a lifejacket and foul-weather gear, however

feel free to use your own equipment to see how it works. 

​

Course topics include:

• Liferafts and the equipment they contain

• Survival Techniques

• Lifejacket types and designs

• Medical aspects of Sea Survival

• Search and Rescue Techniques
