Frequently asked questions
Prerequisite?
SSI Open Water + Navigation strongly recommended. Age 15+.
Is this useful for me?
Surprisingly often — divers lose GoPros, anchors, regulators every season. With this cert and a lift bag, you can recover most of it.
What about Public Safety / Rescue work?
This Specialty is the entry point to SSI Public Safety Diving programs (police/fire/SAR work). If you're considering that career, start here.
How heavy can I lift?
Standard recreational lift bags handle 25–50kg. For heavier objects, you use multiple bags or specialized hardware (covered as advanced concept, not in this course).
Is the gear included?
Lift bag, reel, search compass — all provided for the course. If you want to keep one, basic kits start around ₹4,000.
What's a typical real-world recovery?
Lost anchor in a reef gap, dropped phone over a boat, GoPro snagged on coral. The skill is methodical search, not muscle. Once you've done the cert, you'll spot recovery situations everywhere.
