SEARCH & RECOVERY DIVER
From treasure hunting to public safety diving, to simply dropping something overboard or off the dock, divers with skills in search and recovery are highly sought after by divers and non-divers alike. Students will learn to execute detailed dive planning, multiple search patterns and techniques with and without compass navigation to find large and small objects.
Searching is only half the story. Once an object is found, how do you bring it safely to the surface? Students will learn about knots, lift bags, and various lifting techniques.
