Does a lost item get damaged by saltwater immediately?
While metal items like keys and jewelry are usually fine, electronics are time-sensitive. Calling us immediately increases the chance of recovering your device before corrosion causes permanent internal damage.
Can you recover heavy equipment like anchors or rigging?
Yes, we use professional lift bags and rigging techniques to safely float heavy objects to the surface. This prevents further damage to your gear and ensures a secure retrieval to your dock.
What should I do immediately after losing an item overboard?
Stay calm and note your exact location using landmarks or GPS coordinates. Avoid throwing more items in to "mark" the spot, as currents can move markers and complicate the search area.
What types of items can your divers typically recover?
We retrieve a wide range of assets, including wedding rings, smartphones, keys, and sunglasses, as well as heavier boat parts like anchors, propellers, and dropped outboard motors.
How do you find small objects in dark or murky water?
Our team uses specialized underwater metal detectors and high-sensitivity sonar to locate items in low visibility. We follow systematic search patterns to ensure every inch of the seafloor is covered.
