Proficiency for Life Raft course:

NSRI volunteers attended a Proficiency for Life Raft course this weekend at the CPUT Survival Centre. Table Bay volunteer Kim Germishuys says that it was an awesome course. Everyone learned a lot with regards to how to launch different life rafts, how to manage crew and survival once a vessel has gone down.Kim took these photographs. A volunteer climbs the cargo net and another is hoisted by the 'helicopter', while the remaining crew in the life raft await their turn.
