Search and Recovery

Search and Recovery

You’ve either lost something or someone. Either way, you need to search the area…but where do you begin? Looking for a needle in a haystack is not the most effective method.

In this course you will learn and practice a variety of tried-and-true search patterns suitable for a wide variety of environments. The next question is, how do you get it there safely? This course is designed to teach you this as well.

Our indoor pool is extremely well suited for learning everything from rigging to lifting. You get to play with lift bags (trickier than it appears) and recover “treasure.” Laugh at yourself and have fun.

Then again, if you one day use these skills to recover actual treasure, no one will be laughing…
