				Basic Survival Craft
				This one-day course is designed for all personnel working offshore. It provides the participant with a basic understanding of the capabilities and operation of the totally enclosed motor propelled survival craft (TEMPSC). The Center currently uses both Watercraft (double fall) and Survival System (single fall) survival craft. We have five operation launching davits and seven survival crafts in operation, allowing us to demonstrate winches and releasing gear. The participant will launch the craft, operate it in water, and recover it into the davit.
