PADI Search and Recovery Diver
The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Course
When something falls overboard, it is not as simple as going down and picking it back up. Is there a current? What's the visibility? Have you been diving already today - are cylinders full or nearly empty? What equipment is at hand and who can help? These are some of the questions that go into planning a safe search and recovery dive, before even being underwater! Learn these details and more to ensure safety and recovery can go hand in hand.
