The fouling we’ve seen this Summer is harder and growing faster than I’ve experienced in 15 years. This is bad news for fuel efficiency and boat performance.

As I’m writing this article it has been 5 weeks since Irma, we at DS Diving, just last week, finished floating and removing hazardous vessels that were sunken.

Salvage is often confused with search and recovery. Salvage is classified as the rescue of a vessel, its cargo, or its crew from a disastrous situation.

Our boat surveyors perform dry & wet inspections. We go underwater to inspect the hull & running gear, as well as inspect the open-air portions of the vessel.

If your prop is damaged or you are just looking for a facelift, we offer prop pulling services. Replacing a propeller on a submerged vessel takes great care.

Routine underwater maintenance covers from a few inches above the waterline all the way to the keel. All parts under the water need maintenance for longevity.

Antifouling paint, also known as bottom paint, helps prevent sea organisms from attaching to the hull of a boat and lessening their growth rate if attached.

Most docks, piers, and their pilings are made of wood. With time wood deteriorates when submerged in water, especially salt water.
