Search and Recovery Course

It happens: People accidentally drop things from docks, off boats or even while scuba diving. If you’ve ever lost something in the water and wanted to go find it, then the PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course is for you. There are effective ways to search for objects underwater that increase your chances of success. And there are good and better methods to bring up small, large or just awkward items. Search and recovery can be challenging, but a whole lot of fun.

Why do Search and Recovery Course?

1. Have you ever dropped something in the water?
2. Are you looking for lost “treasure”?
3. Is your Scallop/Lobster bag too full and heavy? And how much is too heavy?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions above, then the PADI Search and Recovery Specialty Diver Course is what you need.

The Fun Part

Find lost items and lift them to the surface. It’s fun to use the lift bag. Not only are these skills fun, but very practical and ultimately useful because eventually, you’ll lose something in the water. As a Search and Recovery Diver, you’ll know how to search for and recover it.
