Course Description
This Helicopter Underwater Egress Training (HUET) course—non-STCW and non-OPITO compliant—is designed for both swimmers and non-swimmers to develop or enhance aquatic emergency response skills. The training focuses on maximizing survival during emergencies while traveling over or on the water.

The course includes a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on, in-water training.

Topics include:

  • Philosophy of Survival

  • Crisis Management & the Role of a Leader

  • Helicopter Safety Awareness

  • Emergency Ditching Procedures

  • Underwater Egress Techniques

  • Aquatic Medical Management

What to Bring:
Participants should bring a towel, a change of clothes or boiler suit for in-water training, and a positive attitude.

Note:
Maine Maritime Academy’s HUET course uses a SWETS (Shallow Water Egress Training Simulator) for in-water exercises, as shown in course images, rather than a full-scale METS unit.
