Frequently asked questions
Can you recover a phone from the sea?+
Yes. Many phones can be located if we receive accurate information about where they entered the water and the search begins quickly.

Yes. Keys are among the most common items we recover from rivers, beaches and coastal waters.
Can you find a lost wedding ring?+
Often, yes. Rings are small, but with a well-defined search area they can sometimes be successfully recovered.
Can you recover boat anchors?+
Yes. We regularly assist with locating lost anchors, anchor chains and other boating equipment where conditions permit.
How quickly should I contact you?+
Immediately. Currents, waves, river flow and poor visibility can move or bury objects over time, reducing the chances of recovery.
Do you operate inside marinas?+
We operate in public waters. Searches inside private marinas, ports or restricted areas require permission from the relevant authority or marina management before any diving operations can take place.
Every recovery is different. Success depends on several factors, including: Visibility Water depth Bottom conditions Currents Waves Accuracy of the reported location Time elapsed since the item was lost Although we use professional underwater search techniques, recovery cannot be guaranteed.
