§ 01 — Manifesto

Aslickhull.Asoliddock.Adiverwhoactuallyshowsup.

I'm Kacee Cordova, and I've been under the boats of Tampa Bay for five years. SoFlo Dive isn't a call center or a rotating crew — it's me, in the water, doing the work myself.

From routine cleanings to piling wraps and search & recovery — every job gets the same attention I'd give my own boat. Before & after footage is available on request, so you always see exactly what you paid for.

§ 03 — How It Works

Simple.
Honest.
In the water.

I Dive The Job

I show up on time, in-water at your slip. Hulls get scrubbed, zincs get swapped, growth gets removed. No shortcuts, no crew of strangers on your boat.

§ Straight answers

Hull cleaning
questions.

How much does boat bottom cleaning cost in St. Petersburg?

Pricing depends on boat length and how much growth has built up since the last cleaning. Text or call 727-641-2269 with your boat size and marina and you'll get a straight quote, usually the same day.

How often does a boat hull need cleaning in Tampa Bay?

Most boats in Tampa Bay saltwater need hull cleaning every 4 to 8 weeks. Warm water grows slime in days and barnacles in weeks, so boats that sit in a slip unused need it most often.

Do you clean boats in the water or do they have to be hauled out?

Everything is done in the water by diver, right at your slip. No haul-out, no travel lift fees, and no days off the water.

Are you insured?

Can I see proof of the work?
