WHAT IS A VESSEL SALVAGE OR RECOVERY

Boats need to be salvaged or recovered when beached or sunk.  A boat is considered sunk when the dipstick is wet or the engine is wet.  Hard aground is just that, up on the beach no water in the boat, no holes in the hull, and minimum sand in the boat.

If your boat is submereged in water and needs a professional marine salvage, to recover, raise and pump out the water from the interior of the boat.  Riverside Scuba is the authorized contractor for the State of Calfornia Lakes.
