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.
