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.
Prerequisite:
Must be a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or a PADI Open Water Diver with
the PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty (or have equivalent
certification from another organization) and must be at least 12 years
old
