SEARCH AND RECOVERY DIVER The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Course

The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Course with COLUMBIA SCUBA

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 PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course is for you.
