Life rafts, the equipment they contain and survival techniques form the central part of the RYA Sea Survival course. Other topics covered include the design of lifejackets, hypothermia and Search and Rescue techniques.

The RYA Sea Survival course includes a practical session in a pool and students are encouraged to bring along their own wet weather gear and lifejacket in order to experience first hand the problems of entering and assisting the entrance of others, into an inflated and uncooperative life raft whilst fully kitted out.
