Expert protection for luxury yachts and executives.

Subsurface Threat Inspection

At Aegis Shield, LLC, our Subsurface Threat Inspection service offers specialized underwater assessments to detect and neutralize hidden dangers beneath the surface, safeguarding luxury superyachts, crews, and high-net-worth individuals in Florida's coastal waters and international routes. Utilizing elite Special Operations Forces (SOF) methodologies, this service identifies subsurface threats such as attached explosives, hull sabotage, smuggling compartments, or environmental hazards that could compromise vessel integrity during voyages or at anchor.

Our inspection teams are equipped with top-tier dive certifications, including PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Scuba Diver ratings, ensuring compliance with Florida's maritime regulations and enabling operations in challenging depths and conditions. As a veteran-owned firm, we prioritize safety and precision in all dives.

What distinguishes our service is the advanced Sensitive Site Exploitation (SSE) expertise derived from U.S. Special Forces training. Our personnel excel in systematic underwater searches, employing tactical techniques to locate and document concealed evidence in high-value target locations... skills refined through missions involving the recovery of hidden intelligence, weapons caches, or contraband in submerged or semi-submerged environments. In addition to these capabilities, our SSE proficiency extends to detecting and neutralizing covert tracking devices, such as GPS beacons or acoustic trackers, often planted by adversaries for surveillance, espionage, or preparatory theft operations. We've applied these skills in high-stakes scenarios to identify and remove such devices from sensitive assets, preventing unauthorized monitoring and ensuring operational security in contested maritime environments.

These capabilities have been honed in real-world scenarios, where we've applied SSE to dismantle hidden networks in high-threat zones, recovering critical evidence that informed broader security operations. For yacht clients, this translates to thorough hull scans, propeller inspections, and underwater perimeter checks that mitigate risks from piracy, espionage, or accidental damage in areas like the Caribbean's evolving threat landscape.

Seamlessly integrated with our armed protection, AI surveillance (e.g., SEA.AI), cyber defenses, and trauma response services, Subsurface Threat Inspection provides a layered security approach, backed by our TS/SCI clearance for handling sensitive findings with utmost discretion.
