You don’t need any license or training but you do need a registration number.I use a kayak while spearfishing and only have a mobile phone as a means of calling for help. The RNLI recommends a handheld vhf dsc radio for kayaking, but it seems like you need training, licensing etc to use one.
Anyone here using one, what's the process?

Then look around for something similar in the UK. Google will probably find it quickly.I'm in the UK.
I always take a dsc/vhf radio on the bouy when going out diving. In Denmark you need too be examined and certified in use of vhf and dsc radio. I do not have the dsc certificate needed but I have got a mmsi number fra the british authoritives just by applying online. I think that if i need the radio in case of emergency, it really dont matter where the im registreret. As Long as some one answers the call [emoji4]That Ybw thread will tell you everything that you need to know, I was going to reply with advice but no need now The process is so simple, I recently did it myself, you can't go wrong
