A personal flotation assembly is provided that includes flotation device and a protective shell extending therefrom. The flotation device is a buoyant structure that includes an open interior, such as a ring or similar shape. Along the lower end of the flotation device is a protective shell. The shell includes a spiral expansion spring therein and a resilient construction, whereby the shell is adapted to compress against the flotation device when stored and expand outward when deployed. When deployed, the shell forms a rounded sidewall, an enclosed lower, and an interior volume sized to receive the floating user. The shell is made of a resilient material and is water permeable. Therefore, the flotation assembly supports a floating user and protects the user when adrift for long periods. Additional locating elements may be secured to the floatation device, including strobes or signal generators.
