underwater recovery
Diving to retrieve
Underwater recovery is the process of locating and retrieving objects, vehicles, or human remains from beneath the water's surface.
The term typically appears in professional contexts—police divers performing underwater recovery of a submerged car, or teams searching for victims after a boating accident.
Recovery implies bringing something up rather than merely finding it.
