Whether it’s a sunken ship or simply your buddy’s dive light that was accidentally lost, there are times in which the appropriate training to search for lost objects underwater would be beneficial. Without proper training these dives can be very frustrating and even dangerous.

We will teach you techniques to easily and safely complete the dive. The Search and Recovery Speciality is designed to extend your knowledge and skills in the use of recovery tools and search techniques. It develops the knowledge required to plan, prepare and analyse your dive to reduce stress and confusion, allowing you to enhance your diving experience. You will also learn the correct handling of one or more lifting bags in order to bring heavy objects securely to the surface.

At Elite Scuba we believe you need proper equipment to safely complete a search and recovery dive. We will provide you with a powerful LED dive light,rope, a 60 lbs lifting bag, a compass and a nitrox dive computer. All included in the course price and a whole lot of fun for free!
