"We could potentially see a life-threatening situation and there will be injuries along the way and we need to be prepared to deal with those. So it's life or death stuff here."

"I think the most difficult part is just realising how tough it is to do the stuff here in a room, where we are stationary and hydrated. Thinking about having to do that on a boat off shore, where things are moving around, and it's actually... the situation is real, that is going to be the hardest part -- taking the practice into reality."
