 Powerboat racing thankfully invariable ends with a safe coming alongside
at the end of the day. Occasionally however, things can go badly wrong, and the
boat capsizes. All on board now find themselves in the water, with some
possibly beneath the boat.
Knowledge of what to do next may save your life and the lives of
others.
Our Powerboat Racer Underwater Escape course is similar to that for
the crew and passengers of helicopters and light aircraft as detailed below.
The standard course comprises 3 simulated ditches in our custom
built "Dunker' - a capsule representative of the cabin of the majority of
commercial helicopters and small aircraft.
A flat ditch is followed by a submerged 45 degree exit, and finally by an inverted 180º escape drill.
All ditches are supervised by experienced instructors, with
divers ready to assist in the pool if required.
You will also be taught in the use of EBA – Emergency Breathing Apparatus – to aid escape.
