You are boating in rough waters. If you have an emergency rescue may take a while. Which type of PFD is recommended?

In rough waters, a Type I personal flotation device (PFD) is recommended. Type I PFDs are designed for maximum buoyancy and are suitable for open, rough waters, providing better support for unconscious individuals. They are typically more effective at turning a person face-up in the water, which is crucial in an emergency situation. Always ensure the PFD fits properly and is worn at all times while boating.
