Everything below the waterline

Six jobs, all worked from the water. The Navy calls it underwater ship husbandry: fixing the boat without dry-docking it. We call it Tuesday. Every job comes with before-and-after photos, video and a detailed dive report.

Hull bottom

Hull Cleaning

Barnacles, slime and grass scraped off by hand while it sits in its slip. All bottom time, no dry dock.

Running gear

Zinc Replacement

Zincs are built to go down with the ship so your shaft, prop and trim tabs don’t. We swap the spent ones before the metal that matters takes the hit.

Running gear

Prop Removal & Install

Props pulled and hung back on underwater for repairs, swaps or a spare. No crane, no haul-out, no surface interval for your boat.

Docks & lifts

Dock & Lift Cleaning

Growth cleared off bunks, cradles and dock structure so your lift sets it down clean every time.

Anywhere wet

Search & Recovery

Keys, phone or sunglasses over the side? Give us two pulls. That’s Navy line-signal for “going down,” and we’ll search till we find it.

Pilings

Piling Wrapping

Pilings wrapped so marine borers and rot can’t make a meal of your dock.

Fouled, or ready to run?

Pick a job and drag the line. These are Jordan’s own photos, before the dive and after.

Real jobs from Jordan’s dive log. You get photos and video like these, plus a detailed dive report, after every job.

Burn less fuel

Every barnacle is a passenger you pay to push. A clean bottom slips through the water and burns less getting there.

+

Get your speed back

Slow getting on plane? Odds are it’s not the motor. It’s what’s growing on the bottom.

+

Skip the dry-dock bill

Regular cleanings and fresh zincs keep growth and corrosion from turning into a haul-out and a repair bill.

21 ft How it works

Three phases, no haul-out

PHASE 1 · PRE-DIVE

Dive brief

Call, text or send the slate with your boat, its length and where it’s docked. We plan the dive from there.

PHASE 2 · DESCENT

Bottom time

We come to your slip, splash in and get to work below the waterline. Your boat never leaves the water.

PHASE 3 · ASCENT

Surface & debrief

We surface with before-and-after photos and video of everything we worked on, plus a detailed dive report. Then it’s ready to run clean.

2-1-2 pulls is Navy code for “send me a slate.” This is ours. Tell us about the boat and where it’s docked, and Jordan will surface with a quote.
