Search & Recovery Course
PADI Search & Recovery Course
Have you ever dropped something in the water? Are you looking for lost “treasure”? The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course will teach you effective ways to find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. Small, large or just awkward, there is a way to bring them up.
The Fun Part
The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Course will teach you the basics of lost and found and how to apply the correct search technique to find the lost object. Small objects like watches or rings often require a different technique than larger objects like anchors or small motors. Then once you have found the object, and if it weighs more than 10 pounds, how are you going to lift it to the surface? Lift bags are the obvious answer but what safety precautions must be taken and what size lift bag is required?
