Will you be joining the Casting 4 Kids fishing tournament in Paintsville, KY? We will be there. For all bass fishermen experiencing gear loss on the lake, our recovery services will be available all weekend.

We were recently called in for the emergency removal of a burned bass boat that was blocking both the channel and the boat ramp. Situations like this don’t just create an eyesore—they create real safety hazards and prevent others from using the water safely.

Our crew deployed a diver on surface-supplied air with hardline communications, allowing us to work safely and efficiently in zero-visibility conditions. Once underwater, we located the vessel upside down with the motor buried deep in mud and silt.

Through careful rigging, clear communication, and coordinated teamwork, the boat was successfully recovered and removed from the river. The channel was cleared, the ramp reopened, and the area made safe again.

We’re proud of the professionalism, dedication, and teamwork our crew brings to every job—especially when the call comes in and time matters most.

These guys did a fantastic job over the past two days in our ERDi classes. We now have new ERDi Tenders, ERDi FFM Divers, and ERDi Drysuit Divers. Several are progressing through ERDi 1, and two are working toward their ERDi 2 certification.

I couldn’t be more proud of the hard work and dedication they showed through two long days of training.

A huge THANK YOU to Michael for keeping us fed, and many thanks to Eric Spangler and Joe Davidson for helping with the class.

What a great weekend of diving with great friends and dive family. Congratulations to Adrian for completing TDI Intro to Tech, and to Joey who completed his SDI Open Water Instructor. Many thanks to Christine and Buck for hosting.

As some of you may have heard, our fearless* leader suffered some medical issues in 2025. Monika and Michael have been active in the background and we have some great things coming up. Stay tuned! In the meantime, check out Cameron! So dry he's cosplaying as an electrician!
