Courses are held next to Limehouse Basin near Canary Wharf in London or if there is demand we can come to your office.
It is a well proven fact that in the event of an emergency at sea, people who have received training are more likely to survive. The Sea Survival Course covers preparation for survival, lifejackets, search and rescue and a practical session in a pool with a liferaft.
For the pool session you should bring some old clothes or oil skins if you have some and an old pair of shoes or boots. If you wish to bring your own lifejacket you may do so. It might be a good idea to see how it performs. If you do not bring a lifejacket one will be provided.
Our instructors have many years experience teaching the Sea Survival course.
A RYA course book is included in the cost and a RYA Sea Survival certificate is given at the end of the course.
