About

When your boat needs underwater attention in South Florida's waters, The Proper Way Underwater Services brings over two decades of proven expertise directly to your slip. Established in 2002 in Palm Beach County, our family-owned business has built an exceptional reputation through rigorous commitment to quality, punctual service, and meticulous attention to detail that larger dive companies simply can't match. Our comprehensive underwater services extend far beyond basic hull cleaning. We specialize in complete propeller service and repairs, thorough underwater inspections, zinc anode replacement, pile wrapping, search and recovery operations, and professional Propspeed applications. Each service reflects our understanding that your vessel's underwater components require specialized care to maintain peak performance and protect your investment. With over 10,000 documented hull cleanings completed by our team, we've encountered virtually every underwater challenge that South Florida's marine environment can present. Owner and lead diver Edward Struzenberg brings extraordinary depth of experience to every dive. Born in Florida and diving Jupiter's waters since 1990, Ed transitioned from recreational diving to commercial diving in 1994, spending years as a commercial hard hat diver with established marine construction companies like Perini Marine and Ocean Breeze Construction. This background equipped him with essential skills for working in low-visibility environments and tackling complex underwater projects that recreational divers cannot handle. Ed began specializing in yacht cleaning in 1997 and has dedicated his career to perfecting underwater boat maintenance techniques. Our service area encompasses the entire South Florida boating corridor, from Stuart and Hobe Sound through Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Lake Park, Singer Island, Palm Beach Shores, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach, and West Palm Beach. This extensive coverage ensures convenient access to professional underwater services regardless of where you keep your vessel along this premier boating region. What truly distinguishes The Proper Way is our personalized approach to marine service. While many dive companies treat hull cleaning as a quick, standardized task, we customize our services based on each vessel's specific needs, bottom paint condition, and environmental factors. Our equipment and techniques are continuously updated to handle everything from small pleasure craft to large yachts, ensuring optimal results across all vessel types. Being fully licensed and fully insured provides complete peace of mind for boat owners entrusting us with their valuable vessels. We understand that your boat represents significant investment and countless hours of enjoyment, which is why we approach every underwater service with professional-grade equipment and safety protocols. Our pricing remains fair and transparent, reflecting our commitment to providing exceptional value rather than simply competing on cost. Office manager Michelle Struzenberg ensures seamless communication and scheduling, handling appointment coordination and account setup with the same attention to detail that characterizes our underwater work. We've streamlined our processes to accept all forms of payment, including major credit cards and online payment options, making it convenient to maintain regular service schedules. Whether you need routine hull cleaning, emergency propeller repair, comprehensive underwater inspection, or specialized services like Propspeed application, we deliver results that exceed expectations. Contact us at (561) 748-3862 to discuss your underwater service needs and discover why discriminating boat owners throughout Palm Beach County choose The Proper Way for all their marine diving requirements.
