Why You Need Diver Down Dive
A pristine, clean bottom hull means huge fuel savings and better performance. Monthly hull cleanings remove algae and barnacles, which activates the antifouling paint to slow future marine growth. Remember, regular monthly cleanings will extend your time between haul outs!

Sacrificial Zinc Anode Replacement
Zincs should be replaced when about half of the anode has been lost to corrosion. Ideally, we want that to occur annually. The longevity of a sacrificial zinc anode is a function of its weight. When a zinc lasts less than a year, you need one with more weight.

Why are barnacles a problem for boats?
​​Potential Hull Damage:
Barnacles can cause corrosion and damage to the boat's hull over time, weakening its structure.
​
Barnacles can clog the raw water intake, leading to overheating of the engine.
​
Barnacles can accumulate on propellers, interfering with their performance and potentially leading to damage.
​
Barnacles create friction as the boat moves through the water, slowing it down and increasing fuel consumption.
​
Reduced Fuel Efficiency:The extra drag caused by barnacles results in boats using more fuel to travel the same distance.
