Set it once, then read the reports
South Florida water grows barnacles all year, so a hull that stays in the water needs a diver every 30 days, and a hull without bottom paint or in a nutrient-rich slip needs one every two weeks. The plan puts that on a schedule: the scheduling system tells you when the diver is coming, the diver works from your dock or slip whether or not you are home, and the photos and dive report arrive afterwards. Billing is monthly. That is the whole arrangement.
It is the most hassle-free scheduled bottom cleaning we know how to run, and it is how most of our customers from Miami to Jupiter keep their boats. Read why 30 days is the number, or see what drives the price.
What's included every month
Every monthly visit covers the whole boat below the waterline, and you get the proof.
Hull
The whole hull surface, thru-hull fittings, underwater lights and every chine, with non-abrasive Ultra-Cavitation.
Running gear
Props, thrusters, rudders, shafts, transducers and trim tabs: the metal that bottom paint cannot protect and that fouls first.
Waterline
The algae band where the sunlight is strongest, removed with soft brushes.
Zincs
Every anode checked on every dive, the percentage on your report, and replacement once it reaches 50%.
Dive report
Zinc percentage per anode, bottom-paint condition and anything the diver spotted, after every cleaning.
Photos
Detailed photos of the hull and running gear with every monthly visit.
How it works
45 minutes to 4 hours per cleaning, depending on growth and boat length. Every 30 days for a boat that stays in the water; every two weeks in nutrient-rich spots or for a hull without bottom paint.

Boat length, where it is docked, bottom paint or not. Length sets the dive time; paint sets the schedule.
First dive
Hull, running gear and waterline cleaned with Ultra-Cavitation, zincs checked, report and photos sent.
Monthly from then on
The scheduling system tells you when the diver is coming; you don't need to be there. Monthly billing; zincs swapped at 50%.
Which schedule your boat needs
- Every 30 days: a painted hull that stays in the water. Growth is still soft at 30 days and lifts with non-abrasive cavitation without touching the paint.
- Every two weeks: bare gelcoat, and boats in nutrient-rich water. Barnacles bond to gelcoat faster and thicker than to paint and can blister it if left too long.
- Running gear on every visit: props, shafts, rudders and trim tabs have no paint to protect them, so they are cleaned every time.
The first dive sets the schedule; the diver has seen your slip by then, and the report says what was found.
What the dive report shows
A written dive report and photos come with every cleaning.
- Zinc percentage per anode; replacement at 50%.
- Bottom paint condition, so the next haul-out is planned, not guessed.
- Photos of the hull and running gear.
- Anything the diver spotted: clogged thru-hulls, damage, loose gear.
- Detailed photos of the hull and running gear with every monthly visit, so you can compare month to month.
The report arrives after every cleaning whether or not you were there. Over a few months it becomes a history of your slip: how fast the zincs go, how the paint is holding up, and anything the diver spotted. Read more about zinc replacement at 50% and the bottom-paint guide.
Leaving the boat in Florida for the summer?
Growth does not pause when you fly north. Six unattended summer months turn a bottom into a reef: thru-hulls clog, running gear loses its coating, zincs go past 50% and the paint under a hardened layer is usually finished. On the plan the diver keeps coming every 30 days, the report and photos land in your inbox wherever you are, and billing stays monthly. When you come back the boat is ready to run, not ready for the yard.
Tell us the boat is unattended when you sign up so the diver knows nobody will be aboard, and give us a phone number that works where you are.

Keeping the boat at a marina with vendor rules? Tell us where it is docked when you book. Our divers work from your dock or slip, and you do not need to be there; in a gated community they call ahead and send a text right before the visit.
Monthly plan questions
How do I know which day the diver is coming?
The scheduling system tells you when the diver is coming, and if your dock is behind a gate the divers call ahead and send a text right before the visit. You do not need to be there; the photos and the dive report arrive afterwards.
Can my boat be on a two-week schedule instead of monthly?
Yes. Boats without bottom paint and boats in nutrient-rich water go on a two-week schedule, because barnacles bond to bare gelcoat faster and thicker and can blister it if left too long.
What happens to my boat if I leave for the summer?
The plan keeps running. Growth does not pause in South Florida, and six unattended months turn a bottom into a reef; with the plan the diver comes every 30 days, the report and photos reach you wherever you are, and billing stays monthly.
How is the monthly plan billed?
Monthly, with easy monthly billing, so there is nothing to arrange after each dive. The quote is set on boat length, where it is docked and whether it has bottom paint.
Does the plan include zinc replacement?
Zincs are checked on every dive and replaced once they reach 50%, on the same visit, with the percentage recorded on your report. Ask us how anodes for your boat are handled when you get your quote.
