		<description><![CDATA[By Walt Hendrick, Andrea Zaferes, and Craig Nelson MD.
If you took a recreational rescue diver course or recreational search and recovery course, you probably learned a number of different search techniques, such as the expanding square or circular search using a line.  These techniques might work well for high-visibility, buddy diving, but they are not [...]]]></description>
