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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I need an underwater inspection?

Several situations call for one: you are buying or selling a boat, your mooring is due for its required inspection, your boat ran aground or took an impact, an insurer asked for a condition report, or you simply want to know the state of the hull and running gear before scheduling boat maintenance. Anytime you need documented proof of what is happening below the waterline, an inspection answers it.

What does an underwater inspection involve?

We dive the hull, running gear, mooring, or structure and examine it carefully, documenting condition and any damage with detailed video and notes. For mooring inspections we check the chain, anchor, and hardware. If the inspection points to work, we can follow with boat maintenance or underwater repair. You receive a clear report of what we found so you can act on it with confidence.

What affects the cost of an inspection?

The main factors are the size of the boat or structure, the depth, the level of documentation needed, and whether it is a hull check, a mooring inspection, or full survey support. Water clarity and access also play a part. For a number tailored to what you need inspected, get a free quote here.

Do you provide documentation with the inspection?

Yes. We document what we find below the waterline with detailed video and written notes, along with a clear summary of condition. That record is useful for a pre-purchase decision, an insurance claim, a mooring compliance requirement, or simply your own maintenance planning. Having a dated visual record of the underwater condition is one of the main reasons owners book an inspection.

How long does an inspection take?

A straightforward hull or mooring inspection is often completed in under an hour, while detailed survey support on a larger vessel takes longer. The amount of documentation requested and the conditions at the site affect timing. We also handle search and recovery for lost gear and pool leak detection for homeowners. We work carefully so the report reflects the true condition rather than a rushed look.
