VHF / DSC is a vital piece of safety equipment allowing you to receive safety messages put out by other boaters and the Coast Guard. Get the latest weather report and talk to your friends. Call the Coast Guard in case of an emergency or check in with a marina to reserve a slip for the night. Don’t depend on your cell phone in the case of an emergency, other boaters can’t hear your call for HELP!

At the end of the course you will be able to communicate and summon help from the Coast Guard with the VHF radio, using proper radio procedure.
