Underwater Camera Operating
With our housings, we’re able to make a configuration to suit your production.
“The Flying Dutchman”
(Narrative/High End Doco System)
- Arri Mini/Mini LF Salty Surf Underwater housing
- Underwater Cables available for SDI, Ethernet & WCU4 control for focus control.
- Cinema Size Ports and domes for larger cinema glass.
- Can take other camera systems with various degrees of control: C300mkiii, RED, Sony Systems.
The Dutchman is ideal for Tank Work and larger scale productions where full camera control is required with our SDI & WCU4 controls. It can also be built out into a more compact mode and smaller camera systems for higher end Doco work when required.
“The StingRay”
- Sony FX3 Underwater Package
- Beautiful images with little infrastructure
- Commercial, Content, B-Roll
- Generally no split/underwater cables used with this kit.
The stingray is great for smaller budget productions. The quality of the FX3 stacks up well for online marketing & social media content. The great thing is the smaller camera body can take a bit more of a beating in the surf and is great for maneuvering around quickly.

ADAS Licenced
ADAS Commercial Diver
ADAS is the regulatory standards for commercial diving in Australia. It meets AU/NZ Diving standards and exceeds the standards of PADI. Often a misnomer, PADI Divemaster’s aren’t generally qualified to perform many of the requirements and demands in underwater safety to meet the standards.
ADAS Qualification & training takes place over two months and allows divers to develop risk management skills in commercial settings. It’s the cornerstone of our safe approach to all things water.
