Underwater Escape Water Training With Night Ditching & Sea Survival (UWET)

Description

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Helicopter underwater escape training arms you with the resources and skills needed to stay safe and escape from a helicopter that has landed in water.

Underwater Escape Training is important for anyone who flies a helicopter. It is necessary training for members of the armed forces aircrew, emergency service departments such as the fire brigade and for people who work offshore.

The training takes place in a purpose-built indoor pool. You are trained in something called a dunker. The dunker is a helicopter simulator that can be submerged in the water. The course combines practical exercises with learning the theory about various escape techniques, safe deployment of equipment, and various emergency procedures and when to use them. When you’re in the dunker you will perform escapes in various positions of rotation, and at various levels of submersion, as well as practising escaping in the dark. You will also practice a range of more complex escapes, such as escaping from a helicopter that has had various exit points blocked off.

Basic Sea Survival training is a course that teaches the basic theory of resilience at sea. It includes the introduction of security and safety devices at sea, their names and types as well as how they operate and at the same time practice.
