Mike Nelson, a professional diver, is in for a challenging task in Sea Hunt season 1 episode 10 titled "Recovery." The episode begins with a group of strangers arriving at Mike's door to ask for his help. They reveal that their friend's boat had sunk and they need someone who can recover it. Although Mike isn't too keen on taking the job at first, he eventually agrees and heads out to the location where the boat went down.
Once there, Mike takes a quick dive to assess the situation. He discovers that the boat is located at a depth of 90 feet and that the current is particularly strong. Furthermore, the boat is entangled in a mass of wires that may need to be cut before it can be raised.
Mike's first step is to gather a team of divers to help him with the operation. With the help of two experienced divers, Mike heads back down to the sunken vessel to begin the recovery process. They immediately begin cutting through the wires using a special tool that Mike brought along, and they make steady progress.
However, their progress is soon halted when one of the divers gets tangled up in some debris. The current is so strong that they struggle to get him free, and Mike has to make a split-second decision to cut him loose from his gear so he can surface. Although the team is shaken by the incident, they quickly get back to work and continue cutting through the wires.
Finally, after hours of hard work, the boat is free from the tangle of wires and ready to be raised to the surface. Mike and his team attach buoyancy bags to the boat, which will help to lift it up slowly. They then begin pumping air into the bags, and the boat slowly starts to rise.
However, just as they're getting close to the surface, disaster strikes. One of the buoyancy bags fails, causing the boat to plummet back to the seafloor. The team is devastated, but they quickly regroup and come up with a new plan. They decide to attach more buoyancy bags to the boat, which will give them more stability and control as they lift it to the surface.
After several more hours of hard work, the team is finally successful. The boat is lifted to the surface, and everyone cheers in triumph. Although the job was far more challenging than they anticipated, Mike and his team are proud of what they accomplished.
As the episode comes to a close, Mike is approached by the grateful boat owners, who thank him for his hard work and dedication. They offer him a sizable payment, but Mike simply smiles and turns it down. For Mike, the satisfaction of a job well done is payment enough.
