The USA Marine Retrieval Team performs dive operations and recovery of all flight hardware. Licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard, our exceptional safety record exceeds that of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard and most of the commercial marine industry.
Recently, our divers have also logged many hours performing maintenance on the exterior of Aquarius, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's underwater research lab in the Florida Keys.
Among our capabilities include the safe, efficient operation and maintenance of marine retrieval and towing vessels, which transport sensitive and oversized cargos.
