Testimonials
“The Marina Water Safety Management course was extremely well delivered by Cliff. Both myself as manager and my team found the course very useful, providing practical guidance and several ideas we could take away and implement within our own marina. The content was clear, engaging, and tailored to real operational challenges. We left the course feeling more confident in our water safety procedures and better equipped to manage risk effectively. I would highly recommend this course to anyone responsible for marina safety or operations.”
Steve Cox, Marina Manager, Plymouth Yacht Haven Ltd
“We booked Cliff through British Marine for water safety management training for our entire team, from managers to operatives. Everyone walked away with a much greater understanding of the hazards present in our working environment and the practical steps we can take every day to make it safer for all. Cliff’s wealth of experience in all aspects of water safety, combined with his invaluable insight into HSE investigations, made the training both engaging and highly relevant. The course was tailored to our specific environment with relevant real-life stories. We will definitely use Atlantic Crest for future training and are already arranging for Cliff to return to site to deliver practical rescue training for the whole team.”
