Underwater Video
The Nautilus Productions video and still crews bring decades of underwater experience to your shoot. On the surface we shoot BetaSP or HD and beneath the waves we use Sony’s Z1U HDV and Sony PD150 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 200’ 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 1000+ dives
Over two thirds of my logged dives are North Carolina wreck dives involving depths to 200’, 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 has an extensive underwater stock footage video library of shipwrecks and marine life.
