Routine underwater cleaning on a cadence tuned to your vessel.
Overview
A clean hull is the difference between a boat that performs and one that fights the water. We dive your vessel on a set schedule, removing slime and early growth before it hardens into the kind of fouling that scours paint and drags down fuel economy.
Every visit uses the least-abrasive method the surface allows: soft pads for fresh antifouling, firmer tools only where the growth demands it. The goal is a clean hull and intact paint, not a fast pass. After each dive your assigned diver logs what was found and what was done, so the condition of your boat is never a guess.
What’s Included
Cadence
Most boats in Southern California are cleaned every four to six weeks. Vessels that run often, or sit in warmer, nutrient-rich water, are scheduled more frequently. We set the interval with you and hold to it.
Common Questions
In Southern California, most hulls are cleaned every four to six weeks. Warm water and long daylight grow fouling quickly, so a regular cadence keeps the work light and protects the paint far better than occasional deep cleans.
Not when it is done on schedule. Frequent, light cleaning lets us use soft pads that lift growth without stripping antifouling. Paint wears fastest when a hull is left until the growth is heavy and only aggressive scrubbing will remove it.
No. We work from the water and need only dock access. You receive a note after each visit describing the hull condition and anything worth watching, so you stay informed without having to be there.
Other Services
Inspection and replacement of the sacrificial anodes that protect your running gear and through-hull metals from galvanic corrosion.
Every hull service includes a visual inspection of the hull, running gear, and zincs, noted in your report. Deeper, dedicated inspections are available on request.
Underwater cleaning and condition care for propellers and running gear, the hardware that turns engine power into clean, efficient motion.
Guidance and coordination for bottom paint: knowing when the antifouling is spent, what to apply, and how to time the work around your season.
Above-the-waterline care that keeps the visible boat looking as well-kept as the hull beneath it, coordinated with your underwater service.
A from-the-water inspection of your dock: pilings, framing, lines and cleats, and the under-dock condition you cannot see from above. It is documented with notes and, where useful, photo and video.
When a phone, keys, sunglasses, a tool, or a winch handle goes over the side, we recover what a diver can locate and bring up by hand. This is light recovery, not salvage; if it takes more than two hands, we will point you to the right outfit.
