They saved my life! No words to describe how helpful they were in helping me recover my cell phone. It was in the water for more than 24 hours and still worked.

Thank you so much, Erica!

Even on Easter Sunday, we’re always ready to help—because we know that losing a phone in the canals of Utrecht never comes at a convenient moment. We’re glad we could recover your friend’s phone quickly and safely from the water, and save them the cost and hassle of replacing it.

At Recovery Divers, we specialize in retrieving lost items like phones from canals, rivers, and other waters, using professional diving equipment and a bit of determination (even during holidays 😉). Your kind words about our promptness and effort mean a lot to us.

Thanks again for trusting Recovery Divers—and hopefully next time, the phone stays dry!

We had a great experience with…

We had a great experience with RecoveryDivers. Communication was quick and easy, and within minutes they approved our request. Marja immediately drove from Rotterdam to Harlingen (about 200 km) and was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process.

They were very professional and got the job done quickly. The price was more than fair, and afterwards Marja also gave us helpful advice on how to dry the car keys and other important tips.

They truly saved us within just a few hours and spared us a lot of time, money, and stress. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your detailed review, Josh!

We’re really glad to hear you had a great experience with Recovery Divers. Fast and clear communication is something we value highly, especially in situations where every minute counts—like recovering lost items from the water. Great to hear that everything went smoothly from request to approval.

Marja will definitely appreciate your kind words. Driving from Rotterdam to Harlingen is quite the trip, but when it comes to recovering valuables like car keys from the water, distance is just a detail for us. We’re happy she could assist you professionally, quickly, and with the personal touch we aim for in every recovery.

It’s also good to hear that the advice on drying your car keys and handling water-damaged items was helpful. Recovering objects like keys, phones, or other valuables is one thing—but helping you get the most out of them afterwards is just as important.

At Recovery Divers, we specialize in fast and reliable recovery of lost items from canals, rivers, and open water across the Netherlands. Knowing we saved you time, money, and stress within just a few hours is exactly why we do what we do (and yes, sometimes that means a 200 km drive without hesitation 😉).

Thanks again for your recommendation, Josh!

Diving Success

Marja and Jochem were great to work with. I dropped my phone during lunch in Leiden, and was able to use my husband’s phone to reach out on WhatsApp- We had a meeting time figured out in moments, planning to meet in the evening.

Marja made the process as smooth as possible, and ended up finding my phone and attached wallet on her second dive. She provided instructions and a plastic bag with silica gels and 12 hours later, my phone was good as new. Thank you so much team!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Kira and Fern!

Losing a phone during a nice lunch in Leiden is never part of the plan, but we are glad you reached out to Recovery Divers so quickly via WhatsApp. Fast communication really makes a difference when it comes to recovering a phone from water, and it was great that we could schedule everything within minutes and meet the same evening.

Marja will really appreciate your kind words. Finding your phone and wallet on the second dive shows exactly how we approach every recovery: focused, methodical, and with the right professional diving equipment to locate lost items even when visibility is poor. Recovering phones, wallets, and other valuables from canals and waterways in cities like Leiden is something we do on a daily basis, and we always aim for the best possible result.

Great to hear that the drying instructions and silica gel helped bring your phone back to life. Recovering a water damaged phone is one thing, but helping you get it working again is just as important to us.

Thank you again for trusting Recovery Divers. We are happy we could turn a stressful moment into a successful diving recovery. And next time, we hope your phone enjoys the view from above the water 😉

Helpful, informative and skilled

Recovery Divers were professional, informative and so kind! They responded to my Whatsapp request within 5 minutes and scheduled a meet and dive to retrieve my phone in under 24 hours. I was vacationing with two friends and my phone was the only cell that had internet and international service. Immediately upon meeting them, they did everything exactly as they had explained on the phone - they were safe and thorough. They assessed the situation before diving in and every promise they made - they kept! They found my phone and it would work - and they did and it does! They even provided me with supplies to help dry my phone out over the next 24 hours - highly recommend!

Recovery Divers found my lost wedding ring

I highly recommend the Recovery Divers! Jochem and team recovered my wedding ring from a canal in Amsterdam in less than 10 minutes of searching. The whole process was super easy and fast-less than 24 hours from contact to recovery. This is a professional and passionate team that loves helping people. Their success rate is unbelievable. Thank you!!

Recovery divers are amazing!

Recovery Divers are amazing! I contacted them in the morning and got an appointment for 19:00 the same day — after waiting two weeks for replies from other volunteer organizations. They went into the water and found my daughter’s iPhone in just 15 minutes, 4 meters down in a canal in Leiden! They gave us a recovery kit and great advice on how to save the phone. They were incredibly nice and professional — I highly recommend this organization!

Thank you for recommending Recovery Divers!

Lifesavers

I was travelling from Norway with a friend and was really dependent on my phone to get back home. I lost my phone in the canal at around 4pm, and found out about this company and called them around 6pm. Right before 9 they were at my location and found my phone in less than 5 minutes! My phone came back up as good as new. The two guys that helped me were efficient and really kind. Even though it was not the most fun loosing my phone in the water, the fact that it survived actually made this one of the highlights of our trip🤣

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad we could get to you quickly and even happier that your phone came back up in perfect condition.

It’s never fun to lose your phone while travelling, but we love hearing that the recovery turned it into a highlight of your trip. Our team enjoyed helping you, and your kind words mean a lot to us.

Safe travels back to Norway — and if you’re ever in the Netherlands again, hopefully it’s without any underwater surprises!

Absolutely Phenomenal Service

The team were incredible! I was absolutely gutted when my phone fell out of my pocket as I cycled to work, and toppled into the canal....

I contacted the team, and they were very responsive. we organised a time to meet at the canal and for them to try and recover it.

It took a few laps of the area with the metal detector in the dark (10pm), but after about 30 mins, the diver emerged holding my phone - AND it was working! After 1 hours of being submerged. AMAZING.

I was amazed and very happy. Would Highly recommend their services!!

Thank you so much, Jackson, for your amazing review! We completely understand how frustrating it is to have your phone fall into the canal, especially on your way to work. That’s why we’re so happy we could help quickly — and even better that your phone was still working after an hour underwater.

Our team approaches every dive with care — even at 10pm in the dark — and it’s wonderful to hear you were so satisfied with the outcome.

Thank you for your trust and recommendation! If you ever need us again, we’ll be ready to help.

THE BEST !!!

I can’t thank Marja and her assistant enough for finding my phone at 6 AM. What an absolute lifesaver! I was so impressed with their dedication to getting it back to me in perfect condition.

They were kind, professional, and so trustworthy. They’re not only skilled divers, but also genuinely good people who make a difference. Huge thanks again!

Phone lost at Ijdijk.

We rented a houseboat at Ijdijk.
As we left to visit the City of Amsterdam, my daughter stumbled and “splash” her phone fell into the water. She was devastated but our landlord gave us the number of “Recovery Divers”. We couldn’t believe it as they told us that they would help us. We made an appointment at 9.0 PM and right on time Marja arrived. She was very kind and tried to find out where the phone fell into the water. She searched but couldn’t find the phone where we had excepted it to be. Instead of giving up she tried it with the metall detector and after approximately 45 Minutes she finally found the phone and it still worked. My daughter was very happy and thankful. So if you need something to be found in the water try “Recovery Divers” if they don’t find it I think it can’t be found. Special thanks to Marja for not giving up.

The loveliest guys in the world!

The loveliest guys in the world!! We dropped a phone into the canal in Amsterdam! They came to help as soon as they could (with other jobs between us). Very kind and professional- these guys have seen it all!
They even gave Silica Gel packets and a bag to put the phone in to help it recover. Very informative and eased our stress. A great service and the divers are volunteers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
