PADI Search & Recovery Diver

Hang around water, and search and recovery is inevitable. Whether it’s something a friend drops from a boat, losing your fin in the surf or a bracelet that bounced off a dock, eventually you’ll need to or will be asked to search for something underwater. But that’s one of the cool things about being a diver: provided the object isn’t too deep, too big or in a hazardous environment, it’s not gone. It’s just wet.
