Ce livre leur est principalement destiné.

Les 6 grands chapitres abordent les risques à bord et en mer, comment les prévenir et leur faire face ; les éléments psychologiques de la survie ; les éléments physiologiques de la survie et les premiers secours ; la mise en œuvre des matériels de sauvetage ; l’abandon et le sauvetage ; les notions de responsabilités et d’assurance.
