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 Portsmouth Boaters Rely on Us
Diving work in Portsmouth spans more shoreline than any town on the bay, from the deep-water yacht yards at Melville on the west shore to the recreational fleet on the Sakonnet River side. Hull cleaning and zinc work serve everything from cruising boats to large yachts here. The town manages a very large mooring field, and moorings must be inspected on a set schedule, which makes inspection a steady part of the work. We handle each job in the water, owner operated and insured.
A Tale of Two Shorelines
Portsmouth holds the north half of Aquidneck Island, with Narragansett Bay and the Melville marinas to the west, the Sakonnet River to the east, and Mount Hope Bay to the north. Common Fence Point sits low and exposed at the northern tip, open to storm surge, while Island Park lines the Sakonnet with its beaches and coves. The west shore reaches open bay quickly, and stronger currents run along the Sakonnet, so conditions vary widely from one side of the island to the other.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer in Portsmouth?
We provide boat maintenance, underwater repair, search and recovery, underwater inspection, and pool leak detection. From hull cleaning at the Melville yards to mooring inspection, the diving is owner operated and done in the water. You can view all of our services here.
What kinds of diving projects do you handle most around here?
Work ranges across the island's long shoreline, from hull cleaning and zinc work on yachts at the Melville yards to dock, piling, and mooring upkeep on the Sakonnet side. With the town's large mooring field and its set inspection schedule, underwater inspection is a steady and recurring part of what we do here.
What sets your diving work apart for boaters here?
We are owner operated, so one accountable diver handles your boat across this varied shoreline. With 15 years of experience, we know how conditions differ from the open-bay west shore to the stronger currents on the Sakonnet, and we complete nearly everything in the water. We are licensed and insured, available 24 hours, and clear about what we find.
How does the mooring inspection requirement work here?
The town requires moorings to be inspected on a set schedule by an approved service, so owners need a diver to check the chain, anchor, and hardware and confirm the tackle is sound. We handle that underwater inspection and document the condition, which keeps your mooring compliant and gives you confidence it will hold when the weather turns.
Why is Common Fence Point a concern in storms?
Common Fence Point sits low at the island's northern tip, fully open to Mount Hope Bay and exposed to storm surge, which makes it a documented area for weather-driven damage. Boats and tackle there take the brunt of a blow, so prompt search and recovery and post-storm inspection matter when a system moves through the upper bay.
