Nautilus Productions HD Underwater Video Services
The Nautilus Productions video and still crews bring decades of underwater experience to your shoot. On the surface we shoot XDCAM HD, HDV (NTSC or PAL), BetaSP or DVCAM and beneath the waves we use Sony’s Z1U HDV in an Amphibico housing for top of the line video quality. Need an umbilical cable to feed live video to the surface or underwater communication gear? We’ve got that too. Penetrating a shipwreck, going to 240’ for that perfect shot, diving with Great Whites or documenting the research and recovery of a 280 year old pirate ship - been there, done that!

Diving Resume
RICK ALLEN 1200+ dives
Over two thirds of my logged dives are North Carolina wreck dives involving depths to 240’, wreck penetration and long, multi-stage decompressions as well as extensive blackwater and archaeological documentation experience. The rest are warm water reef dives in the Caribbean and Pacific or cold California diving. Nautilus Poductions has an extensive underwater HD stock footage video library of sharks, shipwrecks and marine life and is the exclusive licensor of footage from Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.
