Commercial Diving Services

HarborGuard supports commercial vessels, workboats, fleet operators, marinas, and marine service teams with practical commercial diving services focused on underwater maintenance and inspection. Our work is best suited to vessel care below the waterline: hull condition checks, fouling removal, prop and running gear cleaning, zinc anode replacement, intake clearing, and photo documentation.

For operators, downtime matters. Diver-performed maintenance can help confirm underwater condition without immediately scheduling a haulout, and it can prepare a vessel for a trip, survey, sale, maintenance interval, or troubleshooting call. We coordinate access with marina staff, follow site safety requirements, and provide clear notes so owners and managers can make informed decisions.

Commercial Dive Support

  • Underwater hull inspections with photos and written notes.
  • Hull and running gear cleaning for commercial craft and fleet vessels.
  • Zinc anode checks and replacement on shafts, tabs, struts, and fittings.
  • Propeller and shaft cleaning to reduce vibration and drag.
  • Through-hull and intake clearing for cooling or system flow concerns.
  • Coordination with marina, yard, or operations staff for access.

Useful for Fleet and Workboat Maintenance

Commercial vessels can accumulate growth quickly when schedules change or idle time increases. A diver inspection can identify fouling level, zinc depletion, prop condition, intake blockage, and visible hull or fitting issues before the next operating window. When cleaning is appropriate, we can combine maintenance tasks into a single visit to reduce disruption and provide documentation for managers, owners, or maintenance records.

FAQ

Do you handle heavy construction diving?

Our focus is vessel and marina-related underwater maintenance, cleaning, inspection, and documentation. Share the scope and we will confirm whether it fits our capabilities.

Can you document condition for managers?

Yes. Photo documentation and concise maintenance notes are part of the service, which helps with planning and record keeping.

Can multiple vessels be scheduled together?

Yes, when access and timing allow. Bundling multiple vessels or tasks can make the visit more efficient.
