What is a type iii pfd designed to do?

A Type III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is designed to provide buoyancy and keep the wearer afloat in water, while allowing for some freedom of movement. It is suitable for calm waters and activities like boating or fishing, and it may not turn an unconscious person face-up. Type III PFDs are typically more comfortable for extended wear and come in various styles, including vests and jackets. They are ideal for users who are confident in their swimming abilities but still need a safety measure while on the water.
