Final Dive Co. serves Strong's Peconic and Shinnecock Bay marinas, the Shinnecock Canal Marina, and the Hampton Bays yards with dockside hull inspection, running-gear service, and recovery.
Our Southampton service area covers Shinnecock Bay, Great Peconic Bay, Shinnecock Canal, and Mecox Bay — including Strong's Peconic Bay Marina, Strong's Shinnecock Bay Marina, Shinnecock Canal Marina, and Jackson's Marina, and the waters off Shinnecock Yacht Club. 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 Shinnecock Bay, Shinnecock Inlet, Peconic Bay and the Atlantic shoreline.
Sand throughout, and highly mobile near Shinnecock Inlet. The inlet is one of the most dynamic sediment environments on Long Island, with bottom conditions that change materially between seasons.
Shinnecock Inlet runs hard, and the bay behind it has a modest range. The inlet current is the governing factor for any work near the approaches, and it is not a place to improvise a dive plan.
Variable and location-dependent. Ocean-influenced water on a clean flood can be good. Bay-side and post-storm conditions can be poor. Peconic-side locations generally run clearer than Shinnecock Bay.
Moderate to heavy depending on which side of the town you are on. Peconic-side and bay-side conditions differ meaningfully.
Southampton spans two very different water bodies. Peconic Bay on the north side and Shinnecock Bay with ocean exposure on the south. Structures on the ocean-influenced side take substantially more storm energy and need more frequent inspection.
Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs. Peconic-side work is calmer, clearer and more predictable. Shinnecock-side work near the inlet is current-driven, sediment-heavy and weather-gated. We plan each accordingly.
It is workable with proper planning around slack water and conditions, and it is not workable otherwise. The inlet moves a great deal of water over a shifting sand bottom. Any operation there is scheduled to the tide.
More often than protected back-bay waterfront. Structures on the Shinnecock and ocean-influenced side absorb more storm energy, and scour and undermining progress faster there. Annual inspection plus post-storm inspection is a reasonable baseline.
