SAS 125 – Sea Survival & Signalling

How to Signal at Sea ? Use flares, dye markers and movement of any kind to attract attention at sea. If you have no signalling equipment, wave clothing or tarpauliins and churn the water if it is still. At night or in fog use a whistle to maintain contact with other survivors.
