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.
