Helicopter Underwater Escape Training

HUET

Realistic Training in Controlled Conditions

During the HUET training, participants experience what it’s like to respond to a helicopter emergency at sea. In our simulator, a cabin is submerged underwater, allowing you to learn how to cope with disorientation, water pressure, limited visibility, and time constraints. All exercises are conducted under the safe supervision of experienced instructors, enabling participants to build confidence step by step.

What makes this training unique is the combination of realistic simulation and maximum safety. Participants go through a variety of scenarios — from an emergency landing on water to a full capsize, practicing how to escape from a submerged cabin.

Who is it for?

This training is designed for offshore personnel, maritime professionals, and others who regularly travel by helicopter to ships, platforms, or wind farms. Participants learn not only how to bring themselves to safety but also how to work effectively with colleagues during an emergency.

What You’ll Practice

Our instructors provide intensive guidance as you learn to safely escape from a submerged helicopter cabin. You’ll practice:

• Correct use of emergency breathing systems (EBS or equivalent)

• Escaping from an overturned or submerged helicopter cabin

• Maintaining orientation and composure under panic and limited visibility

• Using emergency exits, seatbelts, and evacuation equipment

• Working together and supporting each other during evacuations

Each exercise is carried out under strict safety protocols, with real-time monitoring and a thorough debriefing afterward. This ensures you not only master the techniques but also understand the reasoning behind every action.

Pool

Our pool is specifically designed for maritime and offshore safety training. Here, participants can practice various rescue and evacuation procedures in the water under controlled conditions.

What makes this pool unique is its versatility: it can be used for training with life rafts, boarding exercises, HUET simulations, capsize and entry drills, and the use of safety equipment such as the CA-EBS. All activities are supervised by experienced instructors to ensure a safe learning environment.

Who is it for?

The pool is used by offshore personnel, maritime crews, industrial emergency responders, and trainees who want to gain hands-on experience in water-related emergency situations.

What You’ll Practice

Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you can train in the pool in areas such as:

• Swimming and survival while wearing work clothes or a life jacket

• Boarding and evacuating via a boarding platform

• Using and boarding life rafts

• Training with CA-EBS and other breathing aids

• Escaping from the HUET installation (helicopter underwater escape)

• Performing capsize and orientation exercises

• Working together and communicating effectively during water emergencies

All exercises are conducted under strict safety protocols and followed by a debriefing, ensuring participants not only master the procedures but also understand the principles behind them.

Theory and practice under one roof

Classrooms

Our classrooms form the foundation of all our training programs. Here, participants prepare with theoretical knowledge, interactive presentations, and clear instructions before moving on to the practical sessions. The rooms are modern, well-equipped, and provide a calm, professional learning environment.

What makes the classrooms unique is their direct connection to our training facilities. This allows theory to be applied immediately in practice, ensuring an optimal learning experience for every participant.

Who is it for

The classrooms are used by all participants in maritime, offshore, and industrial training programs. Whether for short briefings or multi-day courses, they serve as both the starting point and the place for reflection and debriefing.

What you’ll experience

Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you’ll take part in:

• Theoretical instruction and presentations

• Preparation for practical exercises

• Safety briefings and procedural training

• Interactive discussions and group assignments

• Evaluation and debriefing of practical training sessions

• Testing and certification

The classrooms are equipped with modern audiovisual tools and can be configured flexibly for both small groups and larger sessions.
