Accidentally drop your buddy's glasses off the dock at the cottage? Looking
for lost treasure? Learn effective ways to locate objects underwater with PADI's
Search & Recovery Diver program.
To take the program you'll need to be at least PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent)
with the dive credential of PADI Underwater Navigation (Junior ratings accepted)
or PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (Junior Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent).
You also need to be at least 12 years of age.
During your program you'll go on four open water dives conducted over a two-day
period, with time being equally divided between academic and actual water-training
sessions.
Your program will cover techniques and application of a variety of search and
recovery methods and includes the following:
- The planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, and hazards
of search and recovery diving.
- 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.
- Proper techniques and safety considerations for recovery of objects using
various lifting devices.
The elective search and recovery dives conducted during the Adventures In Diving
program may count toward this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.
If you're constantly thinking about lost things underwater, get to Sharky's

you've been missing -- literally!
