Testimonial

"I did the sea survival and aviation survival and egress training and I thought it was very valuable. You actually go into the open water for sea survival and it increases your confidence in the water substantially. They have environmental effects like rain and light night which add to the intensity of the egress training. I was very happy with the overall quality of the instructors and the training." - Allyson Costa​, US Military Client
