Underwater Tools
RTO rents and sells underwater tools for commercial diving, marine salvage, underwater construction, inspection, recovery, municipal work, and infrastructure maintenance. This section brings together underwater lift bags, hydraulic and pneumatic tools, diver-support equipment, inspection systems, communications, ROVs, drysuits, gauges, and related underwater equipment.
Use this page as a starting point when matching equipment to the job. Important selection details often include working depth, available hydraulic or pneumatic power, hose length, flow and pressure requirements, tool compatibility, diver access, visibility, lifting capacity, inspection needs, and whether the item is needed for rent, purchase, or both.
Underwater Tools and Equipment for Rent or Sale
RTO supports contractors, commercial divers, shipyards, municipalities, marine salvage crews, marina operators, civil engineers, public-safety teams, and maintenance departments working in harsh underwater environments. The categories below organize the most common underwater equipment groups so buyers and rental customers can move quickly to the right tool family.
Major underwater equipment categories
- Underwater lift bags for controlled lifting, salvage, flotation, and recovery.
- Underwater hydraulic tools for high-power cutting, drilling, grinding, pumping, and construction work.
- Underwater pneumatic tools for compressed-air powered work where hydraulic or electric tools are not the right fit.
- Dewatering equipment for moving water, slurry, and jobsite runoff in marine, municipal, and construction environments.
- Cordless underwater tools for diver mobility, marine maintenance, and battery-powered underwater work.
- Underwater sonar and video equipment for search, inspection, documentation, and visibility-limited work.
Underwater Lift Bags
Underwater lift bags are used for lifting, moving, supporting, or recovering submerged loads. RTO offers lift bags, salvage pontoons, marine salvage pillows, open-bottom lift bags, closed-bottom lift bags, and related accessories for commercial diving, marine salvage, underwater construction, and recovery work.
Underwater Hydraulic Tools
Underwater hydraulic tools provide high power for demanding submerged work such as cutting, drilling, grinding, pumping, breaking, and construction. When choosing hydraulic equipment, confirm flow, pressure, hose connections, power unit compatibility, operating environment, and whether the tool will be used by a diver or from a remote setup.
Dewatering Equipment
Dewatering equipment supports marine, municipal, construction, and maintenance projects where water must be removed or controlled. RTO carries hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, gas, diesel, centrifugal, diaphragm, trash, and submersible pump options depending on the jobsite and available power source.
Underwater Pneumatic Tools
Underwater pneumatic tools use compressed air for submerged cutting, drilling, chipping, cleaning, and maintenance tasks. They are useful where air power is already available or where the project calls for durable, lower-maintenance tools for harsh marine conditions.
Cordless Underwater Tools
Cordless underwater tools are useful when diver mobility matters and hoses or surface power are impractical. These tools support underwater drilling, cutting, grinding, fastening, and marine maintenance tasks while reducing setup complexity.
Underwater Communications
Underwater communication systems help improve diver safety, coordination, and efficiency. They are used by commercial diving teams, public-safety divers, marine contractors, research teams, and inspection crews that need clear communication between divers and surface personnel.
Underwater Metal Detectors
Underwater metal detectors help divers, public-safety teams, salvage crews, and search teams locate submerged metal objects. They are used for recovery, inspection, archaeology, law enforcement, and underwater search work.
Underwater Sonar and Video
Underwater sonar and video systems support inspection, search, recovery, documentation, and assessment work where visibility or access is limited. These systems help teams locate objects, inspect structures, and make decisions without relying only on diver visibility.
JW Fishers ROV
ROVs support underwater inspection, search, recovery, and documentation when sending a diver is difficult, unsafe, or inefficient. They are useful for viewing submerged structures, vessels, pipelines, docks, and other underwater targets.
Viking Drysuits
Viking drysuits are used by professional divers working in cold, contaminated, or demanding environments. They support commercial diving, public safety, fire and rescue, military, law enforcement, and technical diving applications.
Underwater Thickness Gauges
Underwater thickness gauges are used for submerged inspection of metal and other materials. They help divers and maintenance teams measure corrosion, wall thickness, and structural integrity without removing the item from service.
Underwater Hot Water Systems
Underwater hot water systems support divers working in cold water or long-duration conditions. They help maintain diver comfort and safety during commercial diving, marine construction, inspection, and recovery work.
Underwater Helmets
Underwater helmets provide head protection, diver support, visibility, and communication capability for professional diving operations. They are used in commercial, municipal, inspection, and underwater construction environments.
Underwater Magnets
Underwater magnets are used for recovery, positioning, retrieval, and underwater work where magnetic holding force is helpful. They support salvage, construction, maintenance, and search applications in marine environments.
Additional underwater equipment
RTO also offers Cavidyne underwater cleaning equipment, cordless underwater tool accessories, and underwater face masks. Contact RTO for help matching the tool family, power source, hose or battery setup, and accessories to your jobsite.
