Description
Whether it’s gold from an old Spanish galleon, a lost ring, or a bag of fishing gear dropped by a friend in the lake, in some cases it would have been great to have the training to hunt for treasure. SSI offers a structured search and recovery program where you will learn to perform different search patterns with the help of ropes or compasses, and to plan group search and recovery operations.
You will also learn the correct handling of one or more lift balloons to raise heavy objects safely to the surface. If you want to learn more about the search and recovery speciality, you only have to enrol in the course.
