Our story
Local knowledge, hands-on service
Donnie Prather founded Bottom Time Dive Service in 2019 to provide dependable underwater maintenance for boats in Southwest Florida. Today, our team works at marinas, private docks and boatyards across Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and Lee counties.
Every boat and slip is different. We start by understanding the job, bring the tools suited to the equipment, and tell you what we found below the surface. That approach matters whether we’re maintaining a hull on a schedule or planning a propeller removal.
How we work
The details owners should be able to see
Underwater work is easy to overlook because most owners can’t watch it happen. We make the service and its results easier to understand.
Tools for the job
Propeller and running-gear work calls for more than a standard cleaning kit. We plan the equipment and access each job needs.
Useful updates
We report what was done and flag visible concerns. Where practical, photos give you a record of conditions below the waterline.
