Underwater Filming Services
Certified underwater cinematography for marine, pool, and aquatic productions across Brazil.
Underwater camera operators combine professional diving certification with cinema camera expertise to capture footage beneath the surface. In Brazil, operators work in spectacular marine environments including Fernando de Noronha, Abrolhos Marine Park, and the crystal-clear freshwater springs of Bonito, delivering compelling subaquatic imagery in tropical conditions.
We connect you with certified underwater camera professionals who bring the right combination of diving experience and cinematographic skill. Our network includes operators experienced across Brazil's 7,400 km coastline and at Globo Studios' water facilities in Rio. We coordinate waterproof housing, lighting, safety divers, and logistics so your underwater sequences are captured safely and to the highest visual standard.

FAQ
Professional Underwater Operations
What certifications do your underwater operators hold?
Our underwater camera operators hold professional PADI, CMAS, or equivalent certifications appropriate for the filming depths and conditions. Many hold specialist underwater cinematography certifications and have HSE or equivalent commercial diving qualifications for complex productions.
What camera systems can you use underwater?
We operate underwater housings for ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Komodo/V-Raptor, Sony Venice/FX6, and Blackmagic cameras. Housing selection depends on your camera package, required features, and depth requirements. We also use specialized underwater cinema cameras.
Can you film with actors underwater?
Yes. We work with trained water safety coordinators and provide actor coaching for underwater work. Non-diving actors can be filmed in controlled shallow water with safety divers. Complex underwater stunts require specialized coordination and safety planning.
What locations in Brazil are suitable for underwater filming?
Brazil offers diverse underwater filming locations: northeast coast (clear water, marine life), Atlantic coast (dramatic conditions), lakes and rivers (freshwater environments), and numerous studio tanks and pools for controlled shoots.
How do you handle underwater lighting?
We use specialized underwater LED and HMI lights in waterproof housings. For pool and tank work, above-water lighting can penetrate effectively. Deep or murky water requires dedicated underwater lighting packages planned during pre-production.
What are the safety requirements for underwater filming?
All underwater work requires risk assessments, dive plans, certified safety divers, surface support, and emergency protocols. We comply with Brazilian diving regulations and film industry safety standards. Complex sequences may require hyperbaric chamber standby.
