PERSONAL WATER CRAFT SAFETY (PWC)

The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary's Personal Watercraft course is a very basic introduction to the safety issues involved when operating a PWC.

Because of its brevity, it is not approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) nor is it approved by most of the states which require formal instruction in order to operate a boat.

Our Boating Skills & Seamanship course is more appropriate for meeting legal requirements.

The purpose of the course and its associated text, Personal Watercraft Rider's Handbook, is to teach that PWCs are boats and that their skippers have legal responsibilities and should learn the "rules of the road."

Individuals who successfully complete the course and exam are awarded certificates and cards.

NOTE: Utah state law requires a personal water craft course. The USCG Auxiliary in the State of Utah teaches the class. Contact the flotilla nearest your location for information...link
