Scuber is a marketplace that connects people who lost something in a pond, lake, river or ocean with independent divers. The customer posts a recovery job, divers send offers, and the customer picks one. Payment is made by card in the app and held until the job is done. Cash is never allowed. The app is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. ## How much does Scuber cost? Divers set their own price, from $50 to $5,000. The customer pays that price plus a Scuber service fee of 10% (minimum $9.99); the diver receives their price minus a 10% marketplace fee. For a $50.00 job the customer pays $59.99 and the diver receives $45.00. See [pricing and fees](https://getscuber.com/pricing/). ## Built on trust ### Payment held Your payment is held through our payment partner until the job is done, then released. ### Certification reviewed Each diver uploads a certification card, and a person at Scuber reviews it before they can bid. ### No cash, ever Every payment goes through Scuber. That is what makes refunds and disputes possible. ### Private pins Your exact pin is never shown publicly. Only the diver you hire sees it. ## See the water before anyone gets wet Tap the spot where it went in. Scuber names the water body and shows how deep it is at your pin when we have data, always with a label that says how sure we are. Example water card Beaver Lake Reservoir · 44.7 sq mi · Arkansas Depth at pin Estimated 4 to 10 ft, about 7 ft. Estimated from distance to shore: no survey is loaded for this lake yet.

A blank never looks like shallow. [Water data](https://getscuber.com/water-data/) ### Pins stay private Divers see a rough area until you hire one. Only that diver sees the exact spot. ### Lakes, rivers, ponds and coast Lake outlines come from open map data, so the pin knows which water it is in. ## Three steps. No phone calls. After you drop a pin, everything happens in the app. 1. **Compare offers** Divers nearby send offers with a price and a note. Jobs start at $50. You pick the one you like. 2. **Pay, held until done** Pay by card in the app. The money is held until the job is done, never handed over in cash. 3. **Confirm the recovery** Check the proof photos and confirm. Then the diver is paid. Not found means a full refund. ### One recovery, start to finish One recovery, start to finish (scrolls sideways on small screens) 1. **Pin dropped** On the water, no account yet 2. **Offers arrive** From divers nearby 3. **Accept and pay** Card only, payment held 4. **The dive** Exact pin for your diver only 5. **Proof photos** Marked recovered, with a photo 6. **You confirm** Or dispute in the 48-hour window 7. **Released** Diver paid, less the marketplace fee Illustrative screens from the app design.

You pay that price plus a Scuber service fee, and you see the total before you accept an offer. On a $50.00 job, you pay $59.99 and the diver receives $45.00: Diver receives **$45.00** Scuber's fees **$14.99** If you do nothing after a diver marks your item recovered, the payment is released automatically after 48 hours, unless you open a dispute. [See the numbers](https://getscuber.com/pricing/) ### Didn't find it? Someone else still might. If a job ends without a recovery, you can keep your item listed on the lost and found board. If someone later finds something that matches, Scuber connects the two of you in a private chat. No money is needed and either side can walk away at any time.
