About My Business:
I created Seeker Dive Service to fill the need of the boating public in the Percy Priest Lake and
Old HIckory Lake areas. I was conducting recreational diving in Percy Priest Lake and was
getting a lot of questions about diving for lost items and cleaning boat hulls. So I decided to get
my business license and thus the business was born on July 1st 2005. I provide a number of
different diving services to the local boating community at a fair and reasonable price. Most of
my work is seasonal from March to November, but I have been known to dive year round based
on the needs of my customers.
I have dove for keys, sunglasses, and assorted boat parts. I have retrieved anchors that had
become lodged on underwater obstructions for boaters. Occasionally someone will have their
boat sink and that is where my 50000 pounds of lift bags come into play. The largest boat I
have lifted was a 42' houseboat located at Nashville Shores, but I have lifted several smaller
boats and outboard motors. Be sure to check out my Index Page for pictures of some of the
projects I have worked on.
It is my intent to provide quality service at an affordable price. Sorry, but I do not provide diving
lessons. For PADI diving lessons in Middle Tennessee I recommend calling Wes at Scuba
Adventures (www.scubaadventures.com). I can be contacted for your diving needs at (615)
480-7330.
It has been my intent to create this website for people of all walks of life regardless if you have
a boat or not. I hope that everyone enjoys the assorted images I have put on the site. If you
think I can be of service to you diving in the marine environment please give me a call.
Boating Tips:
- I encourage everyone to have insurance.
- Check to ensure the plug is installed before launching your vessel.
- Get a map of the boating area and check for shallow rocks and no wake zones.
- If new to the area, talk to other boaters and marina operators first for safety tips.
- Remember safety first.
Tips if you should loose something in the water:
-Mark the spot as quickly as possible with something such as a plastic bottle.
-Record water depth if known.
-Get a GPS fix if available.
-If you drop something off of a dock mark the spot by lowering some kind of weight to the
bottom and attaching it to the dock with slack since some docks move a lot in the wind due to
their anchoring method.
Assorted Training Pictures and Fun Dive Pictures:
I was fortunate to go to Curacao for vacation in 2006. During this trip to Curacao, I was able to
have some time to do some PADI training with Jamie Cameron owner of Silent Immersion
(www.silentimmersion.com). If you are ever in Curacao and want to do some diving I highly
recommend him and his crew for any diving needs you may have. While there I completed the
Search & Recovery, and Wreck Specialties. These specialties allowed me to get my PADI
Master Diver Certification. Below are a few pictures taken while training, as well as some
pictures from some of the fun dives I went on with Silent Immersion.
The images above are from my Search & Recovery class in which we are lifting
a 25 pound anchor from 85 feet of water. Later that day we lifted a 50 pound
weight from 100 feet of water.
The pictures above are from our last Search & Recovery dive where we located a
galvanized anchor caught in one of the old car frames. I placed an airbag on the
anchor and coiled the rope prior to the lift. This anchor was found and successfully
raised from 108 feet.
Above are some pictures taken from the Superior Producer during a fun dive. The
wreck is just off the Mega Pier where all the cruise ships dock for Curacao visits.
The deck of the wreck is at about 85 feet. The bottom just off the port side is at
110 feet. I highly recommend this dive if you visit the island.
These pictures are from the Tugboat. It is only in 15 feet of water and is a great
snorkel trip for non divers. Many of the cruise ships have tours that take snorkelers
to the Tugboat. If you have a car, the cost is $3 US per person.
The Car Pile located just off the Breezes Hotel is a pretty neat dive. We dove to
132 feet during a deep diving class. The cars kept going into the deep further
than we were willing to go. It appears that they have been down there for many
years.
Here is a

that we ran
across while
on one of
our dives.
