In-Water Survey
In-Water Survey is a class-approved method of inspecting a vessel’s underwater parts — such as hull plating, rudder, propeller, and sea chests — while the ship remains afloat. Conducted by certified divers, IWS is often used as an alternative to dry docking, saving time and cost during statutory inspections or intermediate surveys.
What We Do

Our professional diving teams use high-definition video, photography, and structured reporting to document the underwater condition of your vessel — supporting class approvals and repair planning without interrupting operations.
