Water was and remains a hostile element for humans. Whether you are sailing on an inflatable ring or on a huge liner, danger always lies in wait for you. Modern ships resemble huge cities on the water, but this does not make them more reliable. To avoid accidents on the water, you must follow all the rules of conduct on water transport.

- - life vest;
- - pills for seasickness, other medicines.

Step 1
Be sure to bring your seasickness tablets with you when you travel by water. If you have any chronic medical conditions, such as asthma or diabetes, stock up on medication in case the illness worsens.
Step 2
Examine the ship carefully, look and remember what is where. You must know exactly where the lifeboats and vests are and remember the route to them. Find a shortcut from your cabin and other public areas to the upper deck so that in the event of smoke you can get there quickly and without confusion.

Step 5
If the lifeboats are already filled with casualties, jump straight into the water. Do not forget to wear a vest before doing this. Press your chin to your chest, cover your nose and mouth with one hand, and hold on to your vest with the other. Lifejackets are equipped with lights, a whistle and a signal mirror, so you can signal ships passing by.
