In collaboration with the police and the federal armed forces, OffTEC has developed a maritime combined training course that can be expanded on a modular basis.
The special training course comprises Survival at Sea, Capsize and Helicopter Underwater Evacuation Training (HUET), behaviour in water and operational exercises.
At OffTEC, training survival at sea is not just splashing around.
In the capsize training, teams practise evacuation from an upturned boat.
In emergency situations it is necessary to know exactly what to do and act accordingly. The Capsize Training teaches skills for self-assurance and behavior in the team.
