Could you survive an emergency at sea? 🌊

Join us on 22nd August for our RYA Sea Survival Course, a must for anyone spending time on the water. This one-day course gives you the knowledge and practical skills that could make all the difference in an emergency.

A key part of the course is the practical pool session, where you'll experience entering and using a liferaft while wearing full wet weather gear and a lifejacket. You'll also learn about survival techniques, lifejackets, search and rescue procedures, medical aspects of sea survival, and the essential safety equipment carried on board.

While we all hope you'll never need these skills, knowing what to do in an emergency could save your life or someone else's.

📅 22nd August
📍 Edinburgh Marine Academy
💸 £199
