If you're looking for the challenge and excitement - along with your good deed of the day - the Search and Recover Specialty Diver course is for you. It gives you the skills you need to find what's been lost and how to get it to the surface.

you learn search and recovery dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and how to deal with potential problems.
