Abandon Ship!

Rules for a Ship Emergency

Stay on the ship if possible.
If you can't stay on the ship, get in a life boat. 
If you can't get in a life boat, wear an immersion suit.
Flipping a life raft upright - this was the funnest part of the whole training!
I love swimming!

We had to be able to put on our immersion suits in under 2 minutes.
It's harder than it looks!


These suits keep you floating face up even if you're unconscious.
They make you so buoyant it's even difficult to stand up in shallow water.

Forming a train to move towards the life raft.
We made it onto the life raft!
