Targeted Search & Recovery — Valletta
Most lost-item searches are solvable with the right search pattern and the right tool, not a diver sweeping blind. We run a subsea metal detector and 4K camera survey over the likely drop zone, then recover the item directly with a robotic arm fitted with magnets or hooks as the object requires — an anchor, an outboard, or something as small as a dropped tool or piece of jewelry.
Why it matters in Valletta
The Grand Harbour is one of the Mediterranean's established ship repair centres, and Malta's waters hold one of the region's best-documented concentrations of WWII-era wrecks, supporting a genuine wreck-diving and heritage tourism industry.
An active repair yard economy alongside a well-known wreck-heritage sector makes Malta a genuine fit for both class-driven hull survey work and non-invasive historical wreck documentation.
Deliverable
The recovered item, or a documented search record if the object isn't located within the agreed search scope.
