Search and Recovery

SSI SPECIALTY COURSE SEARCH AND RECOVERY

“Finding treasure is something every diver thinks of more than once in his/her diving career.”

Whether it’s the gold of a sunken ship, a lost ring or simply your buddy’s dive light accidently lost, there are times in which the appropriate training to search for lost objects underwater would be beneficial.

SSI offers a structured program for SEARCH AND RECOVERY where you will learn to perform different search patterns with the help of ropes and compasses, and to plan search and recovery operations in a team. You will also learn the correct handling of one or more lifting bags in order to bring heavy objects securely to the surface

Training Consists of:

• Classroom Lecture
• Minimum of 2 dives

Students should read and understand the questions in the SSI Dry Suit manual prior to class.
