The ISA / ILS Ocean Safety Course is a professional, internationally aligned training program designed for surfers, SUP athletes, coaches, instructors, and ISA instructors. The course focuses on ocean awareness, surf-zone risk assessment, rescue techniques, and emergency response in dynamic marine environments. Participants learn wave dynamics, rip current identification, patient approach, contact rescues, and self-safety protocols. Emphasis is placed on practical, scenario-based training to build confidence and decision-making skills in real ocean conditions. Successful candidates gain essential ocean safety competence required for coaching, events, and professional watersports operations.

This course is a pre-requisite for ISA Instructor courses.
