About me
Hi, I'm Peter Cresalia, a Marin County native with six generations of family history tied to this beautiful region. I was born and raised here — making me intimately familiar with its unique marine ecosystem and community.
I’ve been diving ever since I was a child and have over a decade of professional experience servicing vessels of all sizes from small leisure crafts to large commercial fishing boats.
I take great pride in ensuring that all my customers feel supported and that their boats are cleaned to the highest standards using the latest cutting-edge tools.
I’m easily reachable with a quick text, call, or email. Feel free to contact me for a quote on my services or if you need a consultation.

It can be intimidating to schedule that first call and trust a new service provider.
At Cresalia Diving Service, you will always feel 100% supported. I’m a quick text or phone call away and can guarantee a 24 hour response time to all inquiries.
In fact, 99% of our clients become recurring customers and will gladly make a referral. They consistently highlight our customer support, professionalism, and open transparency for the reasons why.
All-in-one hull cleaning, vessel inspection and maintenance
Hull cleaning can seem like a costly expense, however it’s a long term investment that will prevent costly repairs down the line if left unmaintained.
A thorough hull cleaning has immediate benefits: better fuel efficiency, speed, and performance from your boat. And the cleaning can be done in a couple of hours thanks to our use of the latest cutting-edge tools.
You’ll also get a detailed report at the end outlining your vessel's conditions with tailored recommendations on how to maintain its performance.
Before
After
If ten stars were available, Peter would get all of them. We had a bi-monthly schedule. Peter without fail did my boat the first week of the month.
Always looked clean and free of growth. Hire him.

I have had the opportunity and pleasure of having my boat's bottom cleaned by Peter. His diving service is the ultimate best. He is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. You can't find a better person to do business with.

I would absolutely recommend Peter. He's been taking care of my boats for a couple of years now and I'm really happy with his work. He's always available when I call and really does great work! I can't recommend him enough. 5 stars!

Peter does an excellent job cleaning and inspecting my boats in Sausalito. His attention to detail and promptness is very impressive. I recommended his services to friends of mine with boats and they are pleased with his work.
