PADI Search & Recovery Diver
Locate & retrieve lost objects underwater! Have you ever dropped something in the water? Are you looking for lost “treasure”? The PADI Search & Recovery Diver specialty course will teach you effective ways to find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. Small, large or just awkward, there is a way to bring them up. Find lost items and lift them to the surface ... it’s fun to use the lift bag. Not only are these skills fun, but very practical and ultimately useful because eventually, you’ll lose something in the water.
