Targeted Search & Recovery — Marseille

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 Marseille

France's largest port, and home to DRASSM — France's national department for underwater archaeological research — reflecting the Mediterranean coast's density of documented ancient wreck sites nearby.

A major commercial port sitting alongside France's own underwater archaeology authority makes Marseille a genuine fit for both vessel/infrastructure survey work and non-invasive heritage-site documentation.

Deliverable

The recovered item, or a documented search record if the object isn't located within the agreed search scope.
