i got this crew pack for two reasons. first, i wanted a more thorough orientation to search and recovery mainly just for fun and "just in case." hey, what if i ever come across an anchor, or a row boat that could be salvaged? second, i wanted a head start on getting certified, before enrolling in the course. the materials accomplished both goals. compared to some other padi courses, id say this one is on the "lighter" side. dont expect any drama about recovering sunken galleons, bodies or bullet-riddled cars, either the materials say to leave those for the authorities and the officially sanctioned divers. on the other hand, i now feel pretty confident that, given the right gear (such as a proper lift bag) and something worth lifting, that i could recover it with confidence, and without hurting anyone. some may say that the program is filled with "just common sense," but ill tell you that it packs a lot of common sense into a small space. (before taking the program, would you even know to think about what could happen if you tried lifting something heavy, and somehow it slipped and fell half way up to the surface? hey, its hard to yell, "look out below!" underwater. or, have you ever thought you could recover something big, just by grabbing onto it and inflating your bcd to the max? dont! after you go through the program, youll know better!)
