04 Questions
Questions about underwater work
How much does underwater work cost in Miami?
$150 per hour, billed by the full hour, with a $200 minimum per visit. We estimate the hours before the job from your photos or video, and the price changes only with your approval.
When is hull cleaning charged by the hour?
When 3+ months have passed since the last cleaning and barnacles and oysters have taken hold, or when the state of the bottom paint is unknown. Up to that point cleaning is priced per foot: the standard price at 1 month, × 1.5 at 2 months.
Can you remove a line from my propeller without a haul-out?
Yes. A diver cuts the line or rope free in the water, right at your dock or slip — no haul-out. The work is charged by the hour, $200 minimum.
Do you clean docks and pilings?
Yes, by the hour. Send photos of the dock and the number of pilings — we estimate the hours before the job.
What else can you do underwater?
Anything a diver can do from the surface: barges, buoys, chains and moorings, lifting anchors or lost items, pilings of concrete, wood or plastic, and non-standard boats. It’s $150 per hour, $200 minimum. We search for lost items, but can’t promise to find them.
Do you work on commercial vessels?
Yes. Barges, work boats and small commercial vessels are priced by the hour like any other non-standard job. We come from commercial diving, so the work is familiar.
How does the estimate work?
Send a photo or video of the job by WhatsApp, phone or email. We estimate the hours before we start. If the job turns out bigger, we send you video first — the price changes only with your approval.
