There are effective ways to search for objects underwater that increase your chances of success. And there are good and better methods to bring up small, large or just awkward items. Search and recovery can be challenging, but a whole lot of fun.

              Product Description

              What will you learn?

              Gathering information and resources, then carefully planning a search are the first important steps you learn. During four scuba dives you’ll practice:

              • Swimming search patterns using your compass and natural navigation.
              • Locating large and small objects using various search patterns.
              • Using a lift bag for large or heavy objects, plus other recovery methods.
              • Planning a search operation based on facts gathered about a lost object prior to the dive.

              Also, the first dive of this Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

              How can you start learning now?

              Visit our dive shop to enroll in the course and get a Search and Recovery Crew-Pak that includes your manual and video. By studying before class, you’ll be better prepared to start practicing your search and recovery skills when you meet with your instructor.

              What scuba gear will you use?

              Besides your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a compass and underwater slate. Your Instructor may suggest other gear that may help with your searches, such as a dive light, marker buoys, lines and reels.

                If extreme, unusual and challenging scuba diving scenarios appeal to you, try diving under the ice.

              • Freediver

                $195.00 – $849.00

                Have you ever wondered how some people can hold their breath for very long and dive? This is the fairly new and growing world of freediving! Aquarius Scuba is proud to begin it’s very own freediving training at the Etobicoke Olympium on Monday nights.

                What is freediving?

                Freediving is any of various aquatic activities that share the practice of breath-hold underwater diving. Examples include breath-hold spearfishing, freedive photography, apnea competitions and, to a degree, snorkeling. The activity that garners the most public attention is competitive apnea, an extreme sport, in which competitors attempt to attain great depths, times or distances on a single breath without direct assistance of an underwater breathing apparatus.

                The sport of freediving is becoming more popular all over the world, especially with younger generations, and we are proud to say we have helped it grow in Toronto. Join our class and pool session, and you will meet pro freediving coaches, who were part of the world-record breath-hold dive.

                AIDA is the worldwide rule and record-keeping body for competitive Freediving events. It aims to set standards for safety, Official World Record attempts, and Freediving Education.

                Join our optional 1 year Club Membership for only $150, to benefit from world class coaching and quality practice at the Etobicoke Olympium Pool.

              • Diver Propulsion Vehicle Course

                $199.00

                Diver propulsion vehicles (DPV) offer a thrilling way for scuba divers to see a lot of underwater territory in a short amount of time. They scoot you through the water allowing you to glide over reefs, buzz around a large wreck or weave through a kelp forest. Whether making a shore or boat dive, a DPV is a great way to see more and have fun doing it.

                If you’re at least 12 years old and a (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher, you can enroll in the Diver Propulsion Vehicle course.

                Course materials: $69.99
                DPV unit rental: $120

              • Cavern Diver

                $200.00

                Caverns exist in many areas where scuba divers venture – from freshwater springs to volcanic island walls and limestone coasts.

The Cavern Diver Specialty course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore caverns correctly – allowing you to enter far enough for adventure, but staying within the light zone for an easy exit to open water.

                You need to be Advanced Open Water Diver who is at least 18 years old to enroll in the Cavern Diver course.
