Located conveniently near the Gold Coast and with Queensland being the home of the Great Barrier Reef, we’ve been proud to be associated with many productions as diving consultants, from blockbuster movies to documentaries to unglamorous but yet rewarding research support, search and recovery.
We operate a small fleet of vessels, fully surveyed, equipped with a full range of first aid and oxygen and on trailer from their base in Brisbane. Typicality used in the Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland areas for media boat charter production / film work, commercial and safety boat operations. Our coxswains are also ADAS commercial divers or professional divers, who have a diverse range of experience across many facets with the marine industry .
Rigid inflatable boats are preferred for their versatility and may be moved easily and deployed in any location along the coast at short notice. Speed and manoeuvrability in the water make them the able to meet the your job demands. Our proximity to and experience working with clients using Warner Bros Studios and other film facilities on the Gold Coast make us the choice for productions.
No other charter operator is able to offer the range of additional equipment ready to deploy on your project no matter how small or large including:
Full face mask and communication units
Rebreather and support including boosted oxygen and consumables
Vast range of tanks, twinsets, nitrox gas able to meet the biggest or smallest project needs
Experienced divers and dive supervisor crew at short notice
Fully Insured
Realistic custom fixed pricing for your project requirements.
Charters are available from short term half day use to extended periods over weeks or months from boat and skipper only to a complete range of support.
We’re regularly asked to service equipment which is beyond the normal scope of average sport scuba technicians. Sometimes we’re simply asked for our expert knowledge to discuss a project, provide safety divers or help achieve workplace health & safety policy in underwater environments.
We’ve worked on the James Cameron cave diving action adventure, Sanctum. With our own Jason Blackwell and John Garvin leading the water unit dive instruction shot on both the Gold Coast at studios and using real caves at Mount Gambier in South Australia, we not only had to train divers, provide support to the dive unit, but re-engineer dive gear which more suited the cinematography requirements.
Over the years we’ve worked on a large number of projects, from small to large and are able to deploy a large amount of support equipment at very short notice from scuba cylinders to rebreathers and all the boating support small or large.
From broad large projects such as movie unit assistance to commercial operations, we have the professional experience.
