People drop things on land and they do so in and around water as well. If you have ever lost something during a dive, you know that it can be challenging to find it. There are different ways to search for and recover objects of varying sizes. This course is designed to help you master the different techniques, improving your chance for success.

The practical part of the course includes 4 scuba dives. During these dives you’ll practice swimming different search patterns using a compass and natural navigation. You will then try to locate small and large objects. Then you will learn about some recovery methods and using a lift bag for large/heavy objects.
