Are you ready to look for things lost from the surface? 

We find many of those items small enough to put in our BCD pocket. But what do we do if they are too heavy for us to bring safely to the surface? 

An what if we need to find something that has been lost somewhere in our dive site?

As search and recovery diver, you will have the ability and knowledge to find a lost objet and carry it safely back to the surface.

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

diver-do-not-fly-for-18-hours-after-diving

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
