Skookum Dive Services Expands
Skookum Yacht Services have announced an expanded commercial diving service that is fully mobile from their Granville Island Marina location. With a professionally equipped mobile dive support vehicle, brothers Jonathan and Stephen Paetkau can provide full commercial dive services anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Routine underwater maintenance including hull service, anode replacement and prop removal are offered by Skookum. They are registered with WorkSafe BC as a commercial dive service and are fully compliant with WorkSafe standards for commercial diving.
The divers have also been available for dock and boathouse repairs including flotation addition and general maintenance. Recently, Skookum’s divers added six floatation billets to the BoatShed at the Heritage Harbour of the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The BoatShed, a centre of wooden boatbuilding and repair, is owned by the Oarlock and Sail Wooden Boat Club.
Skookum is the only Vancouver area full-service marine facility offering both boat repair and commercial diving services.
