Salvaging a Vehicle from the Depths: Infinity Dive & Marine Takes on Broadwater, NSW

Navigating murky waters and overcoming challenges is all in a day's work for Infinity Dive & Marine, especially when tasked with the intricate mission of salvaging a car submerged in the Richmond River at Broadwater, NSW. This recent endeavour not only tested our technological prowess but also highlighted our unwavering commitment to precision and efficiency in underwater operations.

The Challenge:

Submerged in the murky depths of the Richmond River, the task of locating and salvaging a vehicle presented unique challenges. With zero visibility underwater, our team faced the daunting prospect of pinpointing the exact location of the vehicle while ensuring minimal disturbance to the river ecosystem.

Our Approach:

Equipped with cutting-edge technology and seasoned professionals, we devised a meticulous strategy:

1. Advanced Sonar Techniques: Leveraging advanced sonar technology, we meticulously scanned the riverbed to locate the submerged vehicle. Despite the challenging conditions, our precise sonar equipment played a pivotal role in identifying the car's position with unparalleled accuracy.
2. Deployment of Commercial Dive Team: Once identified, our skilled commercial dive team sprang into action. Under hazardous conditions, they expertly rigged a robust 2-tonne lift bag to the vehicle, preparing it for safe extraction from the riverbed.
3. Surface Extraction and Tow: With the vehicle securely rigged, our team carefully executed its ascent to the water's surface. Employing meticulous towing procedures, we safely transported the vehicle to the nearest boat ramp for further assessment and recovery.
4. Final Extraction with Precision: Upon reaching the boat ramp, we seamlessly coordinated the extraction process using specialized flatbed tow trucks. This critical phase ensured that the vehicle was swiftly and securely removed from the river, minimizing disruption to the surrounding environment.

Achievements and Environmental Responsibility:

Throughout the operation, we maintained a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship. Our team implemented stringent measures to mitigate any potential environmental impact, safeguarding the delicate ecosystem of the Richmond River.

The successful salvage of the vehicle at Broadwater, NSW, underscores Infinity Dive & Marine's expertise, innovation, and dedication to delivering exceptional results in challenging maritime environments.
