RYA Sea Survival Course

The RYA Sea Survival course (1 Day Course), is essential training for anyone who goes to sea. The course is also a pre-requisit for those looking to commercial endorse RYA Practical Certificates and Exams, such as RYA Yachtmaster, RYA Advanced Powerboat Certifiate of Competance and RYA Powerboat Level 2. 

While we all hope never to need to abandon a vessel, knowing what to expect and how to react can make a critical difference in an emergency.

The course focuses on how to stay alive in an emergency situation, including making effective use of a liferaft and the safety equipment carried on board. You will also learn core survival principles, techniques for conserving energy and heat, and how to maximise your chances of being located by search and rescue services.

Swimming Poole - Practical Session

A key highlight for many participants is the practical swimming pool practical session. This gives you the opportunity to experience the challenges of entering an inflatable liferaft and helping fellow crew members while wearing full wet weather gear and a lifejacket, all whilst being soaked! This realistic exercise helps build confidence and reinforces the theory covered earlier in the day.
