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 Newport Boaters Trust Us
Diving work in Newport serves the full range of one of the world's great sailing harbors, from cruising boats to megayachts and classic racing sailboats. Hull cleaning and zinc work are constant, and the harbor's holding ground is known to be suspect in many spots, which makes anchor and mooring recovery and inspection a steady need. The harbor is deep and well protected yet a mile from open ocean, with comparatively clear, salty water. We handle each job in the water, owner operated, with 15 years of experience.
A Deep Harbor With Tricky Holding
Newport Harbor opens off the East Passage between Fort Adams and Goat Island, with Brenton Cove tucked in as a protected anchorage and the historic Thames Street wharves lining the waterfront below the Pell Bridge. The water is salty and ocean-influenced with comparatively good clarity that improves on a strong tidal flow. Holding ground is suspect across much of the harbor, so anchors drag and gear is lost. From the Bannister's and Bowen's wharves to the mooring fields off the Point, this is busy, deep, well-protected water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer in Newport?
We provide boat maintenance, underwater repair, search and recovery, underwater inspection, and pool leak detection. From cleaning yacht hulls to recovering lost anchors, 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?
In this busy yacht harbor, hull cleaning and zinc work on yachts and racing sailboats lead the way, along with wharf, dock, and mooring upkeep. Because the harbor's holding ground is suspect in many spots, search and recovery of dragged anchors and lost gear is a steady and recurring part of the work here.
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 in a harbor of valuable yachts. With 15 years of experience, we know the deep, clear water and the harbor's tricky holding ground, and we complete nearly everything in the water. We are licensed and insured, available 24 hours, and clear about what we find.
Why is the harbor's holding ground a concern?
The holding ground is suspect across much of the harbor, meaning anchors do not always set well and can drag, especially when the weather pipes up. That is why sound moorings and prompt recovery matter so much here. When an anchor drags or gear goes down, fast search and recovery gives the best chance before tide and traffic move it.
Is visibility good for detailed work in the harbor?
It is comparatively good for the region. The harbor is deep, well protected, and a mile from open ocean, with salty water and clarity that improves on a strong tidal flow. That makes for workable conditions on detailed jobs, which helps with underwater inspection and survey work on the yachts and classic boats kept in this harbor.
