Aviation history proved that survival rate of people involved in ditching with civil airplanes is highly influenced by the training of the crew regarding actions to be taken after the evacuation.
In these situations, when survival time decreases with the temperature of the marine environment, the capability of the crew to group and coordinate the survivors and the ability to signalize their position are only a few of the important actions that if completed correctly, improve the survival chances.
In the Sea Survival School crews are trained both theoretically and practically by highly experienced instructors in a safe and comfortable environment. The training pool is supplied with the equipment that is found onboard eg. life raft, life jackets, flotation devices.
