Search and Recovery Diver
The PADI Search and Recovery course teaches scuba divers how to effectively find and safely bring lost objects (small or large) to the surface, covering planning, systematic search patterns (like U-shapes, squares, circles), using tools like lift bags, essential knots, and navigating in limited visibility, making divers more skilled at retrieving anything from dropped keys to anchors.

The next time someone loses an item underwater, you can be the hero that finds the missing object.
In the PADI® Search and Recovery course, you’ll learn how to find lost objects underwater. You’ll practice different types of underwater search patterns and learn how to use a lift bag as you plan and execute mock search operations.

FLYING AFTER DIVING
For your safety, we require allowing at least 18 hours on the surface after your last dive of the day before flying. Flying too soon after diving increases the risk of decompression sickness, as your body needs time to release excess nitrogen.
Please remember to check your flight departure time in advance and plan your dives accordingly.
If you need help organizing your schedule around travel, our team will be happy to assist you.
