Underwater Search & Recovery · Pinellas County
Phones, keys, props, tools, jewelry, electronics — things go overboard. We run careful underwater searches at docks, marinas, and anchorages across Pinellas County and bring back what we can.
When something's gone
Shallow, dark, or silty water hides things fast — but a methodical search by a trained diver recovers more than people expect.
The sooner we search, the less a dropped item drifts, sinks into silt, or gets buried. Call as soon as it happens.
We work a deliberate grid rather than a random look-around, covering the bottom carefully and systematically.
Searches are run to disturb as little silt as possible, which protects both visibility and the item.
Some things come back; some don't. We'll give you a straight read on the chances before and after the dive.

How it works
Underwater search and recovery is exactly what it sounds like — a diver going down to find and bring back something that went over the side. The difference between getting it back and not usually comes down to two things: how fast the search happens, and how methodical it is.
We start with where and when the item went in, the depth, and the bottom type — sand, mud, grass, or silt all change the approach. Then we work a deliberate search pattern across the area rather than swimming around hoping to spot it, disturbing as little of the bottom as possible so we don't bury what we're looking for or kill the visibility.
We'll always give you an honest read on the odds. Recovery is never guaranteed — but a trained, systematic search recovers far more than a frantic one, and far more than leaving it on the bottom.
