Done for the 2025 season! See you next year!
Lake Tahoe's premier scuba retrieval company
At Tahoe Recovery Divers, we specialize in locating and retrieving lost and dropped items from the beautiful, yet often unpredictable waters of Lake Tahoe. As experienced scuba divers and long-time locals, we know the lake’s unique terrain, hidden drop-offs, and underwater hazards better than anyone.
Whether it’s a wedding ring slipped from your finger, a GoPro lost on a dive, or a valuable item overboard, we offer fast, reliable, and discreet recovery services. From shallow shoreline searches to deep-water dives, we accommodate any request — including same-day retrievals when time matters most.
For items lost in super deep or hard-to-reach locations, we have access to ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) technology, ensuring no job is out of reach.
If it’s in the lake — we’ll find it.

A glimpse of our crew, and what we do.
Shallow and Deep Service Calls
We have the expertise to recover your items from any depth, no matter how far they’ve gone. From shallow waters to the deepest parts of the lake, we have the resources and tools to get your stuff back.
Same Day Services Available
We offer same-day recovery services for those who need their items returned quickly. For an additional fee, we’ll prioritize your request and dive into action right away. Service subject to diver availability.
Custom Fit Payment Model
We understand some items may not be recovered. While other scuba services charge a huge fee up front, we have a minimal initial cost and any remaining fees are based on a successful recovery.
$100 Flat Fee Pier Special
If you’ve dropped an item off one of our local piers, we’ll conduct a one-hour search with no additional recovery fee. We know you don't want to waste your day, so we'll get to work right away!
The Foundation
For those super deep items beyond the reach of traditional scuba diving, we have partnered up with a high-tech organization. Restoring the Lake Depths is a foundation dedicated to restoring and remediating our beautiful Lake Tahoe. Using the latest in ROV (remotely operated vehicle) technology and software, they are the ONLY organization capable of locating and recovering items at 1,645', the absolute bottom of the lake.
Deep Emerald
Their flagship ROV, Deep Emerald, uses a specially designed grabber claw to meticulously pick out objects from the lakebed. It is controlled topside by a team of robotics experts onboard their foundation's boat decked out with all the latest gadgets. If you absolutely need to get your property back, this is your BEST and ONLY option to retrieve it!
