Unaided Reboarding
In the event you fall out of the boat, use the following reboarding procedure to
get back into the boat.
• Hold onto the lifeline fixed to the top of the hull side tubes.
• Hold your breath and duck down while holding onto the lifeline. Kick down
hard to force your body upwards. Your aim is to get as much momentum
as possible. As your body is coming up, use your arms to push down on
the hull tube to get your stomach onto the tube and your upper body as
far into the boat as you can.
• Using your arms, press down onto the floor close to hull tube to get the
rest of your body over the tube and into the boat. Use one hand to reach
the opposite lifeline to assist if possible.
• Proceed immediately to shore or mother ship whichever is nearest. If the
above procedure does not work, reach into the boat and partly deflate the
side hull tube by 50% and repeat the above procedure.
