Underwater Filming
Professional marine cinematography with certified dive teams across Belgium.
Underwater filming captures imagery beneath the water's surface using specialized waterproof camera housings, lighting systems, and safety protocols. Belgium offers a 67km North Sea coastline from Knokke-Heist to De Panne, plus lake and river options in the Ardennes and the historic Port of Antwerp for industrial maritime sequences.
We coordinate underwater operations with certified dive teams and cinema-grade equipment across Belgium. Productions shoot at Ostend and Zeebrugge on the North Sea, freshwater reservoirs in the Ardennes, and studio water facilities near Brussels and Antwerp. Our team handles Belgian Coast Guard clearances, municipal coastal permits, and the Belgian Tax Shelter paperwork for qualifying spend — delivering safe, striking underwater footage across Wallonia and Flanders.

Underwater Expertise
What cameras can you use underwater?
We operate professional underwater housings for cinema cameras including RED, ARRI, and Sony systems. We match camera and housing combinations to your resolution, frame rate, and image quality requirements.
Do you provide certified dive teams?
Yes, all our underwater crews are certified commercial divers with specific film production experience. Teams include underwater cinematographers, focus pullers, safety divers, and dive supervisors as required.
Can you film in pools and tanks?
Yes, we regularly work in studio water facilities including tanks at AED Studios near Antwerp and Lites Studios in Brussels. These controlled settings are ideal for actor work, product shots, and sequences requiring the crystal-clear visibility that the turbid North Sea cannot provide.
What about actor safety underwater?
Actor safety is paramount. In North Sea coastal shoots we provide cold-water safety divers and heated drysuits; in tanks we provide breathing apparatus for extended takes and pre-shoot training. Non-diving actors can achieve impressive shots with proper support.
Where can you film in Belgium?
We film along Belgium's 67km North Sea coast from Knokke-Heist through Ostend to De Panne, in the Ardennes' freshwater lakes and reservoirs, and in the Port of Antwerp for industrial maritime sequences. Coastal permits run through municipal authorities and the Belgian Coast Guard, while AED Studios near Antwerp provides controlled tank options.
How do you handle underwater communication?
We use professional underwater communication systems including through-water comms for diver coordination and surface-to-diver links. Directors can communicate with underwater crews and monitor shots in real-time.
