Whether it's the gold of a sunken ship, a lost ring or simply the 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.
