PADI Search & Recovery Specialty<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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\u2019re looking for the challenge and excitement \u2013 along with doing your good deed for the day \u2013 the PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course is for you. It gives you the skills you need to find what\u2019s been lost, and how to get it to the surface.During our program you’ll go on four open water dives over a two-day period. We’ll cover a variety of Search and Recovery methods including the following: Limited-visibility diving and underwater navigation techniques, proper techniques and safety considerations for object location, including the use of various search patterns, lines, and reels as well as proper techniques and safety considerations for the recovery of various objects using different lifting devices.<\/p>\n

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<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
