Peruvian Naval Infantry marines recently engaged in underwater egress training at Marine Corps Base Hawaii as part of Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024.

This training, conducted on July 5, used a single-seat emergency egress trainer to familiarise participating forces with techniques for water submersion and emergency breathing devices.

RIMPAC 2024, the world's largest international maritime exercise, has drawn participation from 29 nations, involving 40 surface ships, three submarines, 14 national land forces, over 150 aircraft, and approximately 25,000 personnel.
