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 Cranston Boaters Choose Us
Diving work in Cranston centers on the protected small craft harbor at Pawtuxet Cove, where shallow approach depths and a soft, silty bottom shape how every dive is run. Hull cleaning and zinc replacement keep the powerboats and sailboats here moving, while river flooding off the Pawtuxet can wash debris and sediment into the cove, making recovery and dock work common. We time dives to the conditions and handle each job in the water. Owner operated, with 15 years of experience below the surface.
Diving the Shallow Pawtuxet Cove
The waterfront here runs from historic Pawtuxet Village at the river mouth out to the Providence River, with the Edgewood shore and the Rhode Island Yacht Club mooring field just to the north. Where the fresh Pawtuxet meets bay salt water, the brackish mix and soft bottom affect growth and visibility on every hull. The dense village blocks around Pawtuxet Park and the falls at the Broad Street bridge mark a tight, protected harbor better suited to small and mid-size craft than open-bay vessels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer in Cranston?
We provide boat maintenance, underwater repair, search and recovery, underwater inspection, and pool leak detection. From hull cleaning in the cove to recovering lost gear, the work is handled in the water by an owner operated diver. You can view all of our services here.
What kinds of diving projects do you handle most around here?
Most work along this stretch is hull cleaning and zinc replacement on the small craft kept in Pawtuxet Cove, plus dock and piling work in the protected basin. After heavy rain pushes debris down the Pawtuxet River, recovery calls and underwater repair requests rise. The shallow, soft bottom near the river mouth shapes how we approach each dive.
What sets your diving work apart for boaters here?
We are owner operated, so the diver who answers your call is the one in the water on your boat. With 15 years of experience and round the clock availability, we handle the cove's shallow, brackish conditions firsthand and complete nearly everything in the water. We are licensed and insured, and we leave you with a clear picture of what we found below the surface.
Does the river mouth affect diving conditions in the cove?
It does. Where the Pawtuxet River empties into the bay near Pawtuxet Village, fresh water mixes with salt to create brackish conditions and a soft, silty bottom. Visibility can drop after heavy rain or river flooding, which also moves debris into the basin. We plan dives around those conditions, which matters most for search and recovery in the cove.
Do you clean hulls on boats kept on moorings near Edgewood?
Yes. We clean hulls and replace zincs on boats kept on the moorings and slips along the Edgewood shore and in the cove, all in the water on the boat's berth. Barnacles and slime build quickly here through the warm season, so regular boat maintenance keeps performance up and protects the running gear from a heavy season of growth.
