There is another chance for you and your crew to complete an offshore survival training course before RHSP 2012.
Heather Conrad tells us there are spaces available on a one-day ISAF-sanctioned course coming up on Wednesday, June 20th in Dartmouth. And if that date won’t work for you, she also says another course can be organized on another day if there are a minimum of six people to take part.
