Overview Search and Recovery Specialty on Gili Meno
2 days – 4 open water dives – make lost items a thing of the past
Become a Search and Recovery Specialty diver with Divine Divers Gili Meno and learn effective ways to find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. Small, large or just awkward, there is a way to bring them up.
The Search and Recovery Diving course consists of four open water training dives. We will find and lift many “lost” items which is not only fun but also very practical and useful. The ultimate recovery is a large and heavy object underwater which we will first lift and then move to another location. A skill, that is actually often used when placing and moving boat moorings.
What you will learn
- How to plan a search job based on facts gathered about a lost object prior to the dive.
- How to choose a distinct search pattern based on the characteristics of the object and the natural environment.
- How to use and swim search patterns using your compass and natural navigation.
- Using a lift bag for large or heavy objects, plus other recovery methods.
- Limited visibility search techniques.
Upon completion of this program, you will earn your PADI Search and Recovery Diver specialty certification.
