Sea Survival Course

|

Well... i try to make it short n simple here... been busy these days coz of job.... Sea Survival is a course made specially for those going offshore... and of course going offshore is no walk in a park... it is dangerous and requires a safety course b4 u go....


my course started on 24th June - 26th June... it is at SMTC, kuala baram... but actually it is just before u cross the bridge to baram...

well if u guys wanna noe how much does the course cost.... it cost about RM1300+ for a 3 day course... and all i can say is dont pay for urself to attend this course so dat u have more chance get job... let the company sponsor you :) and u need renew it every 3 years...
anyways overall i think this Safety Course was very educational, fun, interesting, horrifying at the same time... haha... It change my whole thinking of swimming, safety and most importantly is survival...

My class
My first day there, we attended a day long class, around 17 ppl attend dat course, only 2 chinese include me, and mostly is bumis of cos... then we had to go into the swimming pool to learn to wear safety breathing apparatus... then we sat on a fake helicopter as it goes down... and sink... lol then u need to escape...

Well some of you think its fun and all... dats wat i tot at 1st... until i saw some of the first ppl who went for it, their seat belts got stuck and cant open... and even worse is their breathing apparatus 'masuk air'.... wtf... it reli got me nervous.... but luckily dat day i did okay.. :)




on the 2nd day.... we learnt abt Fire Fighting... fire fighting is kinda gelik oso... we had to go into a room full of smoke, and escape....



well sounds easy... until u go into the smoke house.... PITCH BLACK... u cannot see anything there! even ur fingernails or ur legs or ur gugu no matter how big ur gugu is... D:

anyways 2nd day was okay... we learn how to put out fire oso which is educational because put out fire oso got many techniques...



anyways i wanna mention also the food there... its good... buffet style, eat as much as u want... better than those crappy foods u see at ur skool canteen....

nice ler... this is just breakfast...
On the 3rd day... we learnt more abt safety and the longest practical ever... we had to jump 8 metres into the pool....

Looks like nothing... but when u reach there.... its FUCKING TALL EH...when u reach there....!!! omg... the wind on ur face during the jump... falling is a not nice experience....
8 metres... taller than u think...


This video is 5 metre jump only... if u look on the right side is 8 metres...


we had to jump 8m then go to the lifeboat.... then kayuh mengayuh... and swim in formations like circles and line...


and another thing is u cannot swim wif your legs... BACK STROKES ONLY... because we wanna avoid leg cramps...


anyways all and all it was a great experience....

and once u finish with all the course...

You're ready to go Offshore! :) like Rebecca here... :)
