There are many jobs that require you having your boat lifted from the water, and if you have ever had to do so, you know how costly and time consuming it can be.

Fortunately however, having your hull cleaned, props changed and many other jobs do not require this inconvenience. For a fraction of the cost of having your boat lifted out of the water, we can complete many of these tasks. Beside the cost savings, the time spent waiting for the repairs or cleaning is greatly reduced, therefore enabling you to be on your way in a fraction of the time, once we complete the job, hop on board, start-er up and enjoy the day.

For the many who keep their boats at their own docks, you no longer need to take it all the way to a marina to have the work done, we'll come to you.

Aside from our primary mission, we will also consider many other jobs that require someone getting in the water.
No job is too bizarre and if we can't do it, we will be glad to offer a list of companies that can.

Hull Cleaning.
Ship and boat owners know the effects of a fouled hull. Growth on the bottom of your boat is as common as heat in the summer. Instead of a smooth, clean hull slipping through the water, marine growth creates drag, reducing speed. Extra demand on engines to maintain speed means increased fuel consumption, an added coast regardless of vessel size.

Fouling is the result of marine growth, a constant process which begins between one and four months. Fouling occurs even on a newly painted clean hull treated with the best toxic paints. If left unchecked growth continues until the anti-fouling coat is penetrated, then the seal coat, finally the hull itself is damaged.
Tests show a fouled hull can increase fuel cost by more than 15% - 20%. Just removing an inch of growth from your hull will greatly increase your mileage, therefore possibly saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Can you afford this?
On the other hand, can you afford dry docking every six months or even yearly? This is where Mostly Under Water Diving Services comes in! A alternative to frequent dry-dock maintenance is under water hull cleaning with us.

Hull and Prop Inspections.
An unfortunate, but far too common occurrence, is the occasional grounding. In most cases causing little if any damage. However, not all are as lucky as this may cause serious damage to the hull and or prop. Most boat owners want to know, and are willing to pay for the boat to be lifted from the water to confirm the condition. This can be a costly experience, and is not unheard of to have it happen more than once a year. For a fraction of the cost, we will confirm your boats condition and have you on your way shortly after we begin. Why miss a beautiful day just to find out there was nothing wrong.

Prop Replacement.
Many factors can cause a prop to require replacement, a job that most owners have their boats lifted from the water to complete. However, in most cases this is not necessary. At a fraction of the cost of having your boat lifted and the replacement completed, we will change the prop while in the water.

Zinc Replacement.
This is an unfortunate expenditure to acquire, for such a relatively simple procedure. We will change your zinc without the hassle of having the boat lifted from the water. Usually this is a once a year project and for the boat owners who lift their boats from the water at the end of the season, not a common concern, but when you consider the damage that can be caused by a lack of zinc on the boat, you may not want to wait too long. For a small fee, we will change your zincs and help assure the proper protection of your hull.

Moorings Checked.
The knowledge that your boat's not going to leave without you, is worth the check.

Light Salvage.
If you need it back, we'll go get it.

Some of the jobs we've performed:
Lost valuable recoveries - we've recovered many lost items ranging from wedding rings, glasses, beer (yes, beer), props from boats, and many others.
Light bulb replacements in pools.
Removing rope and fishing line from props and shafts.

One of the most common comments we hear is, "I didn't know if I should call about this".
