How It Works
You contact us
Tell us what was lost, where it went in, when it happened, and any details about depth, landmarks, or GPS coordinates. The more detail, the better.
We assess
We let you know if the recovery looks feasible and walk you through estimated costs. No pressure — we'll be honest if conditions make recovery unlikely.
Bill dives
Bill and his team search the area using precision search techniques and underwater metal detection, methodically scanning the bottom.
Recovery or honest report
We recover the item or tell you clearly what we found and what may have prevented recovery. No runaround.
What Helps Us Succeed
- ✓Don't disturb the bottom — dragging or raking can bury items deeper in silt.
- ✓Note landmarks or GPS coordinates if possible.
- ✓Act quickly — items shift with current and boat traffic over time.
- ✓Stay out of the water — wading stirs up silt and reduces visibility.
Recovery is not guaranteed. Outcome depends on water conditions, visibility, depth, and time since loss. We will search thoroughly and report honestly.
