Frequently Asked Questions — Seymour, CT
How do you handle service areas and mobilisation for recurring dives?
Mobilisation is the fixed charge for getting the dive team, equipment and support boat to your slip. In the Seymour area it covers truck/boat travel, setup, and site safety review, so it does not vary with the amount of underwater work. For recurring monthly or quarterly service, many operators reduce or waive the mobilisation fee for each scheduled visit, so it's worth asking for a bundled quote.
Do I need permits or special scheduling for in-water work at my marina?
Commercial diving is regulated by OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T, and the operator's team works under ADCI consensus standards. Many marinas and local harbors in CT also require a work permit or berthing notice for commercial diving, even if it's just a hull scrub and anode change. The dive contractor will handle the permit, but you should provide a clean slip schedule and confirm the marina's rules so the crew isn't delayed by tides or traffic.
How is recurring hull, anode and running-gear service priced?
The quote is typically a crew day-rate for the dive spread (diver, tender, standby diver and supervisor), plus a separate mobilisation charge. Inspection of a specific item, like a propeller or shaft, is priced per structure, while anode replacement is often quoted per anode or as part of a package. When comparing bids, note that mobilisation—not the day rate—is usually where a large gap comes from, because it covers travel and set-up that don't scale with the dive time.
Why would I choose in-water diving over hauling the boat for this service?
In-water work avoids haul-out fees and lets you schedule service without a haul-out slot, and it's often fine for routine hull cleaning and anode swaps. But if the bottom has significant fouling, damaged paint, or if your marina has poor visibility or strong currents, a haul-out may be more effective and safer. The commercial dive team will follow OSHA's commercial diving rules, so they'll need stable conditions and a planned entry/exit—never a lone diver.
