Learn to find and recover lost objects underwater with the PADI Search and Recovery specialty in Phuket. Across the Andaman Sea's sheltered reefs you learn search patterns, the use of lift bags and rope work to locate and bring up items safely. It is a practical, problem-solving specialty that sharpens your navigation and buoyancy at the same time.
PADI Search and Recovery is a specialty that counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating. Solid navigation skills are strongly recommended beforehand, since accurate searching depends on confident compass work.
Search and Recovery dives run on Phuket's sheltered, sandy-bottomed reef areas such as Kata, where calm conditions and moderate visibility make search-pattern and lift-bag practice manageable.
