Bottom Cleaning
In South Florida’s warm waters, marine growth builds up
quickly—creating drag, increasing fuel consumption, clogging
thru-hull intakes, and even causing propeller vibration. Regular
underwater cleaning is essential to protect your vessel’s
performance and longevity.
Each cleaning includes:
- Scrubbing the waterline and hull
- Cleaning running gear and thru-hulls
- Inspecting and maintaining zincs
- Monitoring the condition of your bottom paint
We take great care to preserve your bottom paint—only cleaning where
necessary to extend its lifespan while keeping your boat in peak
condition. For our regular clients, we replace zincs as needed so
you never have to worry about electrolysis damage to props, shafts,
or other metal parts.
If you’re planning a long trip or just want your vessel performing
at its best, we can also schedule a pre-departure cleaning to ensure
smooth sailing and optimal fuel efficiency. Contact High Class
Underwater Services to schedule your next cleaning or learn more
about our maintenance programs that keep your vessel in top shape
year-round.
Propeller Repair
At High Class Underwater Services, we provide expert propeller
repair, removal, and reinstallation at highly competitive
rates—saving you the time and expense of hauling your vessel out of
the water.
Our dive teams are fully equipped with professional-grade tools,
including a 25-ton hydraulic prop puller, multiple PropSmith sizes
(2"–4" shafts), and a range of metric fittings, allowing us to
efficiently pull propellers up to 60 inches in diameter.
If your propellers are bent, chipped, or unbalanced, our divers can
remove them safely underwater, send them for professional
reconditioning and balancing, and reinstall them in record time—so
you’re back on the water quickly and cost-effectively.
What is PropSpeed?
PropSpeed is a specialized protective coating applied to propellers
and shafts that prevents marine growth, reduces drag, and improves
fuel efficiency. Unlike traditional anti-fouling paints, PropSpeed
creates a smooth, slippery surface that maximizes performance and
extends the life of your underwater metals.
Contact High Class Underwater Services today to schedule your
propeller maintenance or learn more about how our professional
divers can help keep your vessel running at peak performance.
Zinc Replacement
Zincs — also known as sacrificial anodes — play a crucial role in
protecting your boat’s underwater metal components. Regular
inspection and replacement of zincs is one of the simplest and most
cost-effective ways to prevent expensive repairs.
Our professional divers at High Class Underwater Services check your
zincs during routine maintenance and replace them whenever necessary
to ensure your vessel remains fully protected. Our service trucks
are always stocked with top-quality zincs in every common size and
type, allowing us to perform replacements quickly and
efficiently—keeping your boat safe, corrosion-free, and performing
at its best.
Piling & Seawall Services
Piling cleaning:
Shipworms, barnacles, and algae can cause serious damage to your
dock and seawall pilings. At High Class Underwater Services, we
provide professional piling cleaning to remove harmful marine
growth, extend the life of your pilings, and maintain the safety and
appearance of your dock or seawall.
Seawall cleaning:
Your seawall is the first line of defense protecting your property
from erosion. We provide thorough seawall cleaning and inspection to
remove harmful marine growth, reveal potential structural issues
early, and help preserve the strength and longevity of your
property’s waterfront foundation.
Piling wrapping:
Piling wraps are essential for extending the lifespan of wooden
pilings by acting as a barrier against saltwater, marine growth, and
wood-boring organisms like shipworms. We use only top-quality
marine-grade materials to ensure long-lasting protection,
potentially doubling the life of your pilings.
Emergency Services
Whether you’ve got a fouled prop, dropped gear, or need an
underwater inspection, our professional dive team is ready to
respond quickly and get you back on the water fast.
Our emergency dive services include:
- Rope or line removal from fouled props and shafts

-
Cleaning of seawalls, docks, ladders, and pilings using our
Cavitation Machine
When the unexpected happens, High Class Underwater Services provides
fast, reliable, and professional support.
Seawall Repair
Cracks in your seawall can be detrimental for your property. Along
with the possibility of a complete collapse you can be allowing
sediment to escape from the foundation of your house or backyard.
This can be a serious problem if the sediment is coming from under
your home or a nearby deck or patio.
We fix these problems by fillings in cracks deep with our custom
made cement tubes that reach the back of these cracks and fill them
in all the way through.
