Spend time around water (as a
diver, how can you avoid it?) and sooner or later, you come
across someone who lost something underwater. If you’re
looking for the challenge and excitement – along with doing
your good deed for the day – the PADI Search and Recovery
Diver Specialty course is for you. It gives you the skills
you need to find what’s been lost, and how to get it to the
surface.
In the PADI Search and
Recovery Diver Specialty course, you learn search and
recovery dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques
and how to deal with potential problems. You learn how to
locate large and small objects using search patterns, and
various ways for lifting them to the surface. Not only do
these skills make you more capable and confident in the
water, but most Search and Recovery Divers eventually end up
searching for and recovering something they lost
themselves.
