Dr. Helena Marche, a co-author of the study, notes: "The seagull model forces the subject to stop doing—to stop treading, stop splashing, stop panicking. By adopting a passive, avian posture, they conserve glycogen stores and delay hypothermia significantly."
Practice hypoxic training to manage underwater turbulence. seagull ocean training
A proper SOT course should include classroom physics (understanding drift, tidal coefficient, and Beaufort scale), pool-based blackout drills (with a safety diver in the pool), and finally, open ocean supervised evolutions. A proper SOT course should include classroom physics
Seagull Ocean Training is a comprehensive suite of training products, assessment tools, and management systems designed specifically for the maritime industry. It is widely recognized by major shipping companies, flag states, and maritime academies. Instructors claim that a trained practitioner can "raft"
Instructors claim that a trained practitioner can "raft" in 55°F (12°C) water for up to four hours, whereas an untrained swimmer would suffer hypothermia in under 45 minutes.
