RYA Sea Survival
*Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer the RYA Sea Survival course unless it is part of the RYA/ISAF World Sailing Offshore Safety Course.
Cruising is generally a safe activity but it is vital to be prepared for all eventualities at sea and this one-day RYA Sea Survival course has been designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills needs to increase their survival prospects until help arrives.
However, our sister company, Falmouth Training Solutions, offers the MCA STCW Personal Survival Techniques Course on a regular basis and this course is accepted for all Sea Survival training requirements.
Course Structure- Morning Session: Classroom-based theory covering sea survival principles and techniques.
- Afternoon Session: Practical exercises conducted in a swimming pool to simulate real-life scenarios.
- Swimming Ability: Candidates must be able to swim to participate in the practical session.
