Get Ready - Safety First (Part 2)

5.  Always Wear Life Jacket

Always wear a life jacket even you’re good at swimming because the sea is just unpredictable and remember to put on light clothing and non-slip soles. Bring a mobile phone, a rope and a float as rescue tools, just in case someone falls into the sea.


6. Never Turn Your Back on the Sea

Never turn your back on the sea and always stay alert of the surrounding tidal condition. If unfortunately your companion is washed into the sea, DO NOT attempt to jump into the sea but throw the Angel Ring, if available nearby, or the rope and float into the sea to rescue your mate, and call 000 or 112 to get help.


7. Don’t Panic If You’re Washed In

Stay calm and alert if you’re washed in, try to swim away from the rocks and get to a safe spot to wait for the rescue. Swimming towards  the rocks is very dangerous as a big wave will push you hit the rocks and you'll be unconcious and likely to get drowned.


Don’t put your life on a line. These basic rock fishing safety tips are proven strategies that have worked before and will no doubt work again in future.
