Hull Service 2.0 - Video and Image Gallery

Video Logs.
Green Clean Dive Service clientele receive complimentary underwater video logs as part of their regularly scheduled hull service. In addition to an initial before and after video, issues that should be noted and or addressed are recorded.  After being uploaded the boat owner is notified of the new log entry. Periodic "condition checks" are also recorded enabling Green Clean clientele to be aware of and track the condition of their boats hull over time.

Video Inspection Service.
An affordable video inspection will bring you along under the waterline where you can see for yourself what condition your boat is in, without hauling out. After processing, personal video inspections are hosted on a private web page for 3 months. Just a click away from any computer. See our Quote My Boat page for the rate. View Inspection Example

Recorded Issues
The most prevalent misconception regarding hull service is that its just cleaning the growth off the hull. This couldn't be farther from the truth. I believe viewing the images culled from video logs will be a real eye opener for many.
