Based at the tip of Finistère, in Lanvéoc-Poulmic, they are a sort of Samu of the sea. These men - with a few women - belong to the French Navy. At any time of the day or night, a team of six people is ready to intervene: pilot, co-pilot, doctor, nurse, diver and winch operator. Their main work tool is the NH-90 helicopter, known as the "Caiman" - a machine designed for anti-submarine warfare, capable of facing violent storms within a radius of 300 kilometers.

A passenger on a Norwegian liner, who is feared to have an intestinal obstruction. Of a towable platform that was shaken a little too much, from which the entire crew may have to be evacuated. Of a Dutch yachtsman who, on his sailboat, showed signs of a heart attack, etc. Channel: France 3 Program: Case documentary prime time Hors Série Broadcast date: 09/16/2013 Director: Nicolas Moscara Patrick Spica Productions - Follow us on social media: Facebook: / investigationsenquetes
