Learn to find and recover lost objects underwater with the PADI Search & Recovery specialty in Moalboal, Cebu. Over four dives on the sandy stretches and gentle slopes near the Panagsama house reef, this scuba diving course covers search patterns, lift-bag use and knot-tying to bring objects safely to the surface. You finish certified as a PADI Search & Recovery Diver.
The PADI Search & Recovery specialty includes four dives and counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating. Good navigation skills make the course easier, so the Underwater Navigator specialty is a helpful precursor.
The sandy patches and gentle slopes beside the Panagsama Beach house reef give good conditions for search-pattern and lift-bag practice in calm 27-29°C water, with the best visibility December to May.
