Underwater Filming
Professional marine cinematography with certified dive teams across Poland.
Underwater filming captures imagery beneath the water's surface using specialized waterproof camera housings, lighting systems, and safety protocols. Poland offers 528 km of Baltic coastline at Sopot, Gdynia, Kołobrzeg, and Świnoujście, plus the vast Masurian lake district — Central Europe's largest lake system — with hundreds of clear-water lakes ideal for documentaries, features, and commercials.
We coordinate underwater operations with certified Polish dive teams, source cinema-grade waterproof equipment, and manage permits through Urząd Morski (Maritime Office) and local port authorities in Gdynia, Słupsk, and Szczecin. Our team handles logistics for Baltic coastal shoots, Masurian lake filming, and controlled tank work at Alvernia Studios near Kraków.

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 in Polish waters. Teams include underwater cinematographers, focus pullers, safety divers, and dive supervisors as required, equipped for cold-water Baltic conditions.
Can you film in pools and tanks?
Yes, we regularly work in controlled environments including studio water facilities at Alvernia Studios near Kraków and additional production pools. These controlled settings are ideal for actor work, product shots, and sequences requiring precise control.
What about actor safety underwater?
Actor safety is paramount. We provide safety divers, breathing apparatus for extended takes, pre-shoot training, and clear communication systems. Non-diving actors can achieve impressive underwater shots with proper support.
Where can you film in Poland?
We film throughout Poland—the 528 km Baltic coastline around Sopot, Gdynia, Kołobrzeg, and Świnoujście offers ocean and historic shipwreck environments, the Masurian lake district provides Central Europe's largest network of clear freshwater lakes, the Vistula and Oder rivers add inland options, and Alvernia Studios offers tank facilities. Coastal permits run through Urząd Morski regional offices.
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.
