High Tide Dive Service is a full-service underwater resource for boat owners, marinas, boatyards, and marine contractors. In addition to hull cleaning, propeller service, and zinc replacement, High Tide performs underwater inspections, rope and debris removal, search and recovery, underwater cutting, photography and video documentation, hydro-washing, and selected salvage-related work.

Every project is evaluated based on the vessel, location, water conditions, access, equipment requirements, and the safest approach for completing the work.

Problems below the waterline are often difficult to diagnose from the dock. Unusual vibration, reduced performance, visible corrosion, or a recent grounding may indicate an issue with the propeller, shaft, rudder, hull, or other submerged equipment.
High Tide provides visual underwater inspections with photo and video documentation when appropriate. This gives boat owners, mechanics, marinas, and contractors useful information before deciding whether maintenance, repairs, or a haul-out may be necessary.

Common Reasons to Request an Inspection

• Unusual vibration or reduced performance
• A recent grounding or underwater impact
• Suspected propeller or running gear damage
• Rope or fishing line entanglement
• Missing or deteriorated zinc anodes
• Pre-purchase or maintenance documentation
• Confirmation of completed underwater work

Underwater boat work may involve limited visibility, cold water, strong currents, sharp marine growth, entanglement hazards, and restricted working areas around docks and vessels. High Tide approaches each project with careful planning, professional equipment, redundant tools, and safety practices appropriate to the work being performed.
