Captain Redeye Dive Services is in my opinion one of the best. He asked what my issue was and gave me a price which was very fair. He gave me a time that he would be at my boat and he arrived on time. Captain Matt is very pleasant to work with and truly a professional. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
Matt is incredible! He rescued a phone that was in 25+ ft in water in less than a minute. He was very responsive and eager to help. We will be keeping Matt on speed dial. Highly recommend anyone to use Captain Redeye. Thank you so much (again!)
Matt was extremely responsive and prompt when arranging his services. When he was completed, he provided a detailed debrief of the services he performed. I look forward to using him again with our busy charter yacht.
Awesome company to work with! Capt. Matt answered my call and was able to assist me very early in the morning like at 4 am jumping into the cold water and taking out rope in my wheels. He was on time and had all the necessary equipment needed to do the job. He even checked the strainers while he was down there! Thank you very much Capt. Matt for helping me out!
I contacted Matt and he returned my phone call in less than 10 minutes, and arrived the same day within a few hours of calling. My Burberry clutch, car keys, and a few other personal items were sitting at the bottom of a harbor/dock for almost 24 hours. Matthew successfully retrieved them in 5 minutes after checking the general location! I strongly recommend his recovery services!! Thank you again!
I had Matt come out to fix a leak in my pool. Price was reasonable. Service was phenomenal. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Why Bristol Boaters Trust Us
Diving work in Bristol reflects the harbor's deep yacht-building heritage, home to classic and racing sailboats alongside cruising yachts. Hull cleaning and zinc work keep this fleet sharp, and the harbor's exposure to afternoon sea breeze means morning is the working window for many dives. The harbor mooring field catches passing wakes and southerly wind, which makes mooring inspection and repair common. The bottom runs to fifteen feet and more in the proper. We handle each job in the water, owner operated, with 15 years of experience.
An Exposed Harbor With a Morning Window
Bristol Harbor sits between Poppasquash Neck and the town shore, opening toward the Mount Hope Bridge with the Herreshoff Marine Museum and Colt State Park on its shores. This is storied yacht-building water, and the classic and racing sailboats here reward careful below-the-waterline work. Mornings are typically calm before an afternoon sea breeze of around fifteen knots fills in, so the working window matters. The downtown mooring field is exposed to southerly wind and passing wakes, which is hard on tackle over a season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer in Bristol?
We provide boat maintenance, underwater repair, search and recovery, underwater inspection, and pool leak detection. From cleaning classic hulls to inspecting mooring tackle, the diving is owner operated and handled in the water. You can view all of our services here.
What kinds of diving projects do you handle most around here?
Given the harbor's sailing heritage, hull cleaning and zinc work on classic and cruising sailboats lead the work. Because the downtown mooring field is exposed to southerly wind and wakes, underwater inspection and mooring repair come up regularly, along with the usual dock and piling upkeep around the harbor.
What sets your diving work apart for boaters here?
We are owner operated, so the diver you reach is the one on your boat, which matters for the careful work classic sailboats deserve. With 15 years of experience, we plan dives around the harbor's calm morning window and complete nearly everything in the water. We are licensed and insured, available around the clock, and clear about what we find below the waterline.
Does the afternoon sea breeze affect when you dive?
It often does. Mornings in the harbor are typically calm before an afternoon sea breeze of around fifteen knots fills in, so for many jobs the morning is the better working window. Planning around that pattern keeps the work steady and thorough, which matters for detailed boat maintenance on the classic hulls kept here.
Why do moorings in the harbor need regular inspection?
The downtown mooring field is exposed to southerly wind and the wakes of passing boats, and that constant working of the tackle is hard on it over a season. A pennant or piece of hardware can wear faster than you would expect in that setting. Regular underwater inspection catches a problem before a mooring fails when the weather turns.
