Search & Recovery Diver Specialty Manual

You will learn search and recovery dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and how to deal with potential problems. You learn how to locate large and small objects using search patterns, and various ways for lifting them to the surface. Not only do these skills make you more capable and confident in the water, but most Search & Recovery Divers eventually end up searching for and recovering something they lost themselves.

You'll also cover limited visibility, search patterns and safe object recovery using lift devices.

• Search patterns, lift bag use and recovery methods
• Limited visibility techniques and navigation for search and recovery
