Superyacht Anchor Divers | Boat rescue around Antigua | Maurice Underwater Services

In this episode of the Ben Taylor Podcast, Maurice Belgrave of Maurice Underwater Services (Antigua) explains the behind-the-scenes work that keeps superyachts moving - from untangling anchors in crowded harbours to hull scrubs, propeller changes, zinc anode replacement, and emergency salvage response. Maurice breaks down the real risk below the waterline, including lift-bag anchor breakouts, night operations, and why commercial diving is a career built on discipline, not shortcuts. You will also hear how a simple act of help connected Maurice with Super Yacht Publications and the Superyacht Service Guide. Essential listening for captains, engineers, and fleet managers operating in the Caribbean.

Key Points:

• Anchor untangling is logistics, physics, and risk management.
• Eco-driven antifouling changes increase cleaning frequency and complexity.
• Rapid-response salvage capability protects schedules, safety, and assets.
