②Life jacket
It has strong buoyancy and you will not drown even if you fall off the boat.
③Drysuit
Tethered type waterproof suit. The wrists, ankles, and neck are made of thin rubber, and the zipper around the body is waterproof. However, since it is not tailor-made, it may be flooded due to the individual body's differences or too much movement.
