Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants train in areas such as:

• Boarding a life raft from the water

• Practicing different entry techniques (individually and as a team)

• Group formation and teamwork in the water

• Safe use of life jackets and survival equipment

• Coping with stress, cold, and limited visibility

• Basic water survival skills in emergency situations

All exercises are conducted under strict safety protocols, with a detailed briefing beforehand and a debriefing afterward. This ensures that participants not only master the actions but also understand their context and importance.
