PADI Search & Recovery Diver training with Nemo Diving Center

Have you ever dropped something valuable off a boat and wished to retrieve the lost item? There are two things you can do: A. accept the fact that the item is gone forever or B. enroll in our PADI Search and Recovery Diver course and learn how to recover it. If you chose B, we'll teach you effective ways to search for objects as well as different methods to bring up small items and how to use a lift bag in recovering objects that are too heavy to carry on your own. The course lasts for four days & by the end of the lessons, you'll be more than ready to recover your lost valuable.

The scuba equipment needed for the dives are included in the course package but you have the option to bring your own gear if you want. Also included is the Search and Recovery Diver manual which will act as reference material for your training. You can get the manual on the day of the course but you can also pick it up at our diving center beforehand.
