“We all know that the sea needs to be treated with respect and the waters around Scotland in particular can be very unforgiving - Hypothermic conditions and some of the strongest tides in Europe can leave little time from someone first finding themselves in trouble to being caught in a life threatening position. That said I’ve always advocated that surfers, with their nearshore surf awareness may be considered some of the best people to respond in such situations - where time is of the essence. Steves courses at H20 training now offers specialist training within Scotland to equip individualswith the knowledge and skills to respond accordingly in such situations. We strongly recommend any interested parties check out the course schedule and see what H20 training have to offer www.h2otraining.co.uk .”
