Develop practical problem-solving skills with the SSI Search and Recovery specialty in Phuket, learning to locate and raise lost objects on the Andaman Sea's sheltered reefs. You practise search patterns, knot work and lift-bag use while sharpening your navigation and buoyancy. It is a hands-on specialty recorded digitally in MySSI.
SSI Search and Recovery is a specialty stored in MySSI that counts toward Specialty Diver and Master Diver recognition. Confident navigation is recommended, since effective searching depends on accurate compass work.
Search and Recovery dives use Phuket's sheltered, sandy reef areas such as Kata, where calm conditions make search-pattern and lift-bag practice straightforward.
