Surviving in the middle of the sea is the hardest thing because humans cannot breathe underwater & accidents can always happen when we are in the sea.
Two types of accidents usually occur at sea:
- Accidents that can be handled immediately: The personnel can immediately evacuate using the available safety equipment (Lifeboat, Life Raft & others)
- Uncontrolled accident: The personnel are forced to jump into the sea
The right way to save yourself from an accident at sea:
- Use a Life Jacket
- Transfer yourself to the available Lifeboats & Life Rafts
- If you have to jump into the sea, try to place your feet first to the surface of the water
- If you are alone at the sea, hug your body by touching your armpits & closing your legs so that your body can stay warm
- If there are several people at the sea, then this group of people must help each other by forming a circle & hugging others so that the body can stay warm & the injured victim can be placed in the middle of the circle
- Group swimming can also be done by placing people in a row & pinching the legs of the person in front
- If there's no Life Raft, you have to look for floating objects that can hold your body from sinking (wood & more)
- Use Smoke Signals (during the day), Fire Signals (at night) & Mirror Signals to inform Rescue Teams, Ships, Planes, Helicopters & more
