ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Underwater search and recovery

Underwater search and recovery is like playing hide and seek, but instead of looking for a hiding person, we are looking for objects that are hidden in water, like a toy you dropped in the pool.

First, we need a special team of people who are trained in underwater search and recovery. They wear special diving equipment to help them breathe and see underwater.

Next, we use special equipment like sonar, which is like a special technology that sends sound waves into the water and listens for echoes to help us find things we lost. We also use cameras and lights that can go deep underwater to help us see things that are hiding.

Once we find the thing we're looking for, we use more equipment like special hooks or suction cups to grab onto the object and bring it back up to the surface.

Overall, underwater search and recovery is like a big treasure hunt, but instead of looking for treasure, we're looking for lost things that we want to find and bring back up. It takes a lot of special equipment and trained people, but we always try our best to find what we're looking for!
