Quinte Fishing

Does anyone know of any ATV Recovery Companies in the area. Looking for a company that can retrieve an ATV from the bottom of the bay.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nathan

The only underwater vehicle retrieval company I know of is Bartlett Towing and Underwater Salvage from North Bay.

If you have insurance contact them. There are stories that ATV's through the ice aren't covered. My Broker told me that unless it's specifically excluded, they are.

Failing that,

That's the kind of thing arranged by an Insurance Adjuster so I try one of them. There are private one's listed or maybe a referral through you auto insurance broker.

You may also try a local dive club. They may know someone who winter dives and has some experience.

Once you hook up the next biggest problem is lifting it through the ice without breaking through yourself.

I watched a truck recovery and they actually floated the vehicle under the ice with air bags until they reach safe ice about 100 yards from where the truck broke through. Then they had a portable derrick crane to lift the vehicle though the ice.

You won't need that for an ATV but it'll still be a challenge.

Good luck and be safe.
