Hi Grumpie,
Sorry  I do recall that I was going to get back to you.   So here is my answer with a brief prefice:

Based on trick questions which have been part of the question of the day solutions, my 1st answers are silly but obvious. 
I would also like to say that really not enough information was contained in your question, but....... making some reasonable assumtions, I herein take the shot gun approach.

1.     3 things you need for an underwater search.
1.  VICTIM   2. WATER  3. REPORT OF MISSING PERSON

OTHER THINGS WOULD INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
description of lost person; last known point or position; search of area above the surface,ie  bathroom,  car, any other contacts,  other friends; call 911 local authorities;  develop plan; objective; surface support; site manager; WILLINGNESS mentally and physically prepared to do search; propert training, sollicite help from all bystanders, control the site, initial response team of at least 3 searchers to line up a grid pattern of last known area --  although an initial hasty search could be conducted; documentation of where search was conducted, proper gear, ropes, harness, keep and maintain all of the highest training standards we have learned with safety to rescuer being of highest priority;tenders, look out personnel with communciations, site manager, take charge director, staging area for command post, recorder,    last and certainly not least,   KEEP COOL  -   CALM   and COLLECTIVE   DO NOT STOP UNTIL AUTHORITES COME AND GIVE AUTHORITES COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE REPORT< SEARCH AREA,    Don't blame,   just give the facts to RESCUERS.    DON'T ENDANGER ANY OF THE LIFES OF ANYONE ELSE.   

I am sure I could keep going.  but.... I would like to know the answer now.   lol.......
I will also want to thank my instuctors at GUDC because somehow, this all just came out very fast.   I guess the continuing education I believe in must be working.

I used to live right over by there. Directly across the street from Blondie's, in fact. I still haven't gotten an app. from HCSO. I do have a line on a PT job diving starting in June though. I'll make it Sunday. Should I look for all the people with tanks on their backs?
