Our Services
Mainly located, but not limited to: Long Beach marinas (Alamitos Bay, Shoreline, Rainbow, Island White, Catalina island, ect.)
Hull Cleaning
Hull cleaning keeps your boat efficient, safe, and looking its best. Marine growth like barnacles, mussels, and algae can quickly build up on the hull and running gear, reducing performance and fuel economy. Our experienced divers provide gentle and effective regularly scheduled cleanings to help keep your vessel clean, maneuverable, and operating at its best.
Search and Retrieval
Lost something in the water? BOAT M.D. offers fast in-water item recovery for phones, keys, wallets, sunglasses, boat parts, and more. Mark the drop location and call us right away to give your item the best chance of being recovered.
Propeller and Cutlass Bearing Pulling and Replacement
Propeller and cutlass bearing service is one of our specialties. With specialized pullers/ presses, underwater tools, and years of hands-on experience, our divers safely remove and replace propellers and cutlass bearings with precision and care.
Dock/ Float Cleaning and Inspections
Regular underwater cleaning helps protect docks, pylons, hydrohoists, jet ski floats, and EZ docks from damaging marine growth. Barnacles and mussels can add weight, affect moving parts, and lead to costly repairs. Our divers safely clean and inspect these structures using various tools, from underwater pressure washers to extended scrapers, to help keep them operating properly and looking their best.
Underwater Repairs
In the case of a boat emergency or accident, our divers can come assist as soon as possible to inspect, untangle, remove or replace propellers, rudders, strainers, trim tabs, transducers, anodes and much more. Using various tools, from propeller and cutlass pullers to underwater drills, pneumatic tools, and underwater photography, our divers do underwater repairs on boats, docks, jet skis, mooring balls, buoys, and much more.
Anodes
Anodes, often called zincs, help protect your boat from corrosion. Installed on running gear and other submerged metal components, they sacrifice themselves to help protect parts like propellers, trim tabs, outdrives, and other critical hardware. Our divers have extensive knowledge of anode types, can supply the right anode parts for your vessel, and inspect and replace them regularly to help keep your boat protected.
Underwater Pressure Washing
Our 4500 PSI pressure washer cuts through tough underwater growth while safely cleaning delicate, hard-to-reach surfaces. It is a great solution for corrugated plastic floats, bow thrusters, hydraulic swim steps, inflatable floats, and other specialty marine equipment.
Underwater Filming and Inspections
See what is happening below the surface with professional underwater filming. Whether you own a boat, manage a dock, or are shopping for a vessel, underwater video can help identify damage, growth, wear, and overall condition before they become bigger issues. We also film more than boats and docks, so ask us about your underwater project.
Hull Paint for Boats Under 30ft
We offer hull painting and select wax services for boats under 30 feet, with a streamlined, hands-off process for the owner. Working with trusted partners, we coordinate trailering the boat, completing prep, repainting, and returning the vessel to the slip within just a few days.
Captain’s Services
We offer professional captain’s services for vessel operation, transport, and towing support. With 100-ton and 6-pack captains on our team, with towing endorsements, we can provide experienced, dependable support for for-hire captain services, vessel transportation, and a range of on-the-water operational needs.
Golf Ball Water Hazard Retrieval
We provide professional golf ball retrieval diving for water hazards using hand collection, strainers, and other efficient recovery methods. Retrieved balls are cleaned with pressure washing, and we can structure flexible service arrangements directly with the golf course based on operational needs and volume.
Salvage Diving and Sunken Vessels
We provide professional salvage diving for sunken boats, outboards, and other heavy items that can be safely recovered using lift bags and specialized underwater rigging. Our team approaches each recovery with care, experience, and the right equipment to help assess, stabilize, and recover submerged property efficiently.
