Sea Survival


Our Sea Survival courses are extremely popular with leisure and commercial clients alike, and provide vital knowledge of what to do if things go wrong while out at sea. They also provide essential training to gain RYA certification.

RYA/MCA Basic Sea Survival Course – 1 day

This one day course is extremely popular with those that use the water for both leisure and commercial activities. An increasing number of leisure water users are keen to improve their knowledge of what to do if things go wrong when afloat. This course would be ideal for you to attend if your activities take you afloat on our coastal waters.

For those that intend taking to the water as part of a commercial activity, this course is of crucial importance. It is a vital part of obtaining the commercial endorsement to your RYA certificate; it is part of mandatory training for fisherman and should be considered as part of any risk assessment when working in or near water.

The course covers aspects of safety equipment, preparation abandoning and surviving in a liferaft. It also includes a 2 hour swimming pool session practicing liferaft drill and survival techniques.

RYA/ISAF Offshore Safety Course – 2 days

This course is recognised by ISAF to meet special regulations for certain offshore racing.

In addition to including the RYA Sea Survival Course, it also covers heavy weather seamanship, fire fighting, weather forecasting and pyrotechnics.

It is also proving extremely popular with skippers and crews who have decided the knowledge and experience gained on the course is essential, even though it may not be required as part of the sailing instructions.

If you hold a RYA/MCA Sea Survival certificate, you will need to attend the 2nd day of this course only.

 

These courses are run throughout the year in Largs and can be run on request anywhere in the UK using our mobile sea survival trailer. Please contact us for further details.
