It happens: People accidentally drop things from docks, off boats or even while scuba diving. If you've ever lost something in the water and wanted to go find it, then the Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course is for you.

There are effective ways to search for objects underwater that increase your chances of success. And there are good and better methods to bring up small, large or just awkward items. Search and recovery can be challenging, but a whole lot of fun.

PADI (Junior) Advanced Open Water Divers or equivalent who are at least 12 years old can enroll in the Search and Recover Diver course. PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or equivalent with a Underwater Navigator certification also qualify
