Type III PFD is typically used for which of the following?

The Type III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is specifically designed for mobility and comfort during activities where users may be active, such as water sports. This type of PFD allows for a greater range of motion compared to others, making it suitable for activities like waterskiing, wakeboarding, and other dynamic water sports where participants need to paddle or swim.

While it does provide buoyancy and safety, it is not intended for scenarios where rescue might be required, such as offshore rescues, or for prolonged floating support. In contrast, PFDs designed for general boating safety focus on overall protection while being less activity-specific, and those for regulated fishing activities are often tailored to provide convenience for casting and handling equipment. Therefore, for water sports where movement is essential, a Type III PFD is the most appropriate choice.
