PADI Search and Recovery Diver
Small, large, or just awkward, there is a way to find things and bring them to the surface.
The PADI Search and Recovery Specialty course will teach you safe and effective ways to find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. And it’s fun to use the lift bag!
Not only is this course fun, but it’s very practical and ultimately useful because eventually, you’ll lose something in the water. As a Search and Recovery Specialty Diver, you’ll know how to search for and recover it.
You will learn:
- Search and recovery dive planning, organisation, procedures, and techniques
- How to locate large and small objects using search patterns
- How to use a lift bag and other recovery methods
- Limited visibility search techniques
A lot of people who enjoy the more technically-minded specialties can keep adding to their roster of amazing skills, you can keep adding specialties to your belt until you attain your Master Scuba Diving rating! Feel free to contact us for more details on becoming a PADI MSD.
