Search and Recovery Diver

Items lost overboard were once considered to be lost for all time.

Many searches were haphazard and fruitless resulting in lost time and equipment-
Too often frustrating and dangerous.

Yet search and recovery techniques are very simple and a lot of fun, when you learn the basic skills and employ them to recover a lost object.

Using search patterns, compasses and lift bags you will be able to retrieve almost anything lost overboard.

Many social dives have been saved because a diver who had accidentally lost a mask or fin in the water had found their missing item using the simple techniques they learnt during this program.

You will complete one theory session after reviewing the section on Search and Recovery in your Adventures in Diving Manual.
