PADI Search and Recovery Instructor – Train Divers to Find What’s Lost at Diving Academy
At Diving Academy, we believe every dive should serve a purpose—and sometimes that purpose is bringing something back. The PADI Search and Recovery Instructor course prepares you to teach divers how to locate and retrieve lost items with precision, safety, and control.
Whether it’s a dropped camera, lost anchor, or scientific instrument, recovery dives require more than luck. They demand planning, teamwork, and problem-solving. As a PADI Search and Recovery Instructor, you’ll train your students to master these skills through real-world techniques and structured learning.
Why Teach Search and Recovery?
Search and recovery is one of the most useful and rewarding specialties in the PADI system. Divers love the challenge. You’ll teach them how to use search patterns, lift bags, and knot-tying techniques to locate and retrieve items of all sizes.
This course appeals to both recreational and professional divers. It also pairs perfectly with specialties like Navigation, Night Diver, and Rescue Diver—helping you increase bookings and deliver even more value through bundled training.
Teach Practical Skills with Confidence
You’ll follow PADI’s General Standards and Procedures, but we’ll also show you how to adapt your teaching based on local conditions. You’ll guide students through circular and expanding square searches, rigging lift bags, and executing recovery dives in realistic scenarios.
Better yet, you’ll help them develop critical thinking and teamwork skills—two essentials for any successful diver.
