Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1391 (Set 43)

Which is TRUE concerning immersion suits and their use?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — They provide sufficient flotation to do away with the necessity of wearing a life jacket.

Under 46 CFR and international standards, immersion suits provide sufficient intrinsic buoyancy to eliminate the mandatory requirement of wearing a separate life jacket, though designs must still meet all individual flotation criteria.
