EUBA
Emergency Underwater
Breathing Apparatus
EUBA is a compressed air emergency breathing device designed to be used to enhance survivability in the event of an underwater emergency.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The objective of this training is to provide the participant with the knowledge, understanding and skill to safely deploy and use the EUBA to assist them to successfully egress and highlight the limitations and potential hazards associated with the use of compressed air emergency breathing systems.
