Highly recommended to anyone serious about offshore preparedness

It was an incredible experience from start to finish The weekend was well-organized and packed with valuable learning especially the pool sessions and case studies which were both intense and practical The pool sessions in particular gave us hands-on confidence in real-life survival techniques and the case studies offered insights that made everything feel much more applicable to actual scenarios Our instructor were knowledgeable and kept everything engaging We walked away with new skills and a much stronger sense of preparedness for offshore sailing We ll definitely be back for a refresher course in the future Highly recommended to anyone serious about offshore preparedness
