What this video covers

The San Juan Municipal Police Maritime Unit in Puerto Rico conducts inspections of commercial vessels, cruise ships, and private yachts to enforce maritime law, search for contraband, and perform underwater hull inspections. The unit utilizes specialized public safety divers trained in contaminated water operations, full-face mask usage, and mixed-gas diving to minimize decompression times during deep-water search and recovery missions. These divers frequently assist federal and state agencies in Puerto Rico with underwater security, including detecting explosives on cruise ship hulls and identifying illicit cargo attached to commercial vessels. The unit also responds to maritime accidents, including aircraft crashes in the San Juan Bay area. Following a routine interaction with the unit regarding vessel registration, the crew of the Chez Team cleans their anchor and ground tackle, which had accumulated significant marine growth and small crustaceans after remaining submerged for two weeks in the harbor. During the subsequent departure, an unsecured security camera mounted on the mast is lost overboard due to wind and sail movement.
