Professional dive crews serving Riverhead and the surrounding waterways. Hull inspections, dock and seawall work, and item recovery — done in the water, no haul-out required.

Final Dive Co. serves Treasure Cove Resort Marina, the Riverhead Town Marina, and Light House Marina with dockside hull inspection, mooring service, and underwater recovery.
Our Riverhead service area covers Peconic River, Flanders Bay, and Long Island Sound — including Treasure Cove Resort Marina, Riverhead Town Marina, and Light House Marina. Don't see your marina or dock? We travel the whole shoreline — call us and we'll come to you.
Avoided an expensive haul-out thanks to Final Dive Co. They inspected my 45ft yacht's hull, swim platform, and anchor system in one visit. Clean report and great advice. These guys go where others won't.
We have a private dock and finally found a team we had an excellent experience working with. They provided specialized underwater labor.
After last winter's ice damage I called Final Dive Co for a seawall and piling inspection. Same-day response, clear plan, saved me from bigger problems. A++++.
Every body of water on Long Island dives differently. Here is what our crews plan for when we work the Peconic River, Flanders Bay and the head of the Peconic Estuary.
Soft organic mud through the river and the upper bay, firming to sand further out into Flanders Bay. The river carries freshwater sediment that settles out where the flow slows.
Riverhead sits at the head of the Peconic Estuary, where the tidal range is modest compared to the Sound. The Peconic River adds freshwater outflow, so the water column stratifies and the salinity varies with rainfall.
Limited, commonly one to three feet in the river. Tannic freshwater input from the Peconic gives the water a stained quality distinct from the clearer salt water further east.
Lower than full-salinity locations. Brackish water suppresses some marine growth, though freshwater biofouling and sediment accumulation take its place.
Brackish, low-flow, high-sediment water is hard on running gear and cooling systems. Raw water intake clearance and strainer-side inspection turn up problems here that would not appear in cleaner salt water.
Yes. Lower salinity suppresses some marine fouling but does not eliminate growth, and mixed brackish conditions can be harder on metals and anodes than consistent salt water. Sediment loading is also higher here, which affects raw water intakes and strainers.
Yes. Intake and strainer-side clearance is standard in-water work for us. On the Peconic River the culprit is often accumulated sediment and growth rather than a single obstruction.
Yes. Our Riverhead service area covers the Peconic River, Flanders Bay and the marina and private dock facilities along both, including Treasure Cove Resort Marina, Riverhead Town Marina and Light House Marina.
