RC submersibles below, divers on comms, multi-camera underwater rigs streaming live — coordinated topside from the Basilisk's Dark Room. Surface, aerial, and underwater in a single production.

- · RC submersibles for cinematic underwater coverage without a diver in frame
- · Wireless diver communications between divers, surface, and director
- · Multi-camera underwater rigs with topside monitoring
- · Certified safety divers and dive supervisors coordinated on request
- · All feeds live-graded in the on-board Dark Room
Built For
Shots the surface can’t give you.

- · Underwater sequences for narrative features and series
- · Watersports and freediving campaigns
- · Yacht and superyacht hero water lines
- · Scientific and research capture with cinematic output
How It’s Different
Underwater coverage on the same call sheet.
Traditional underwater cinematography means chartering a separate boat, a separate crew, and a separate schedule. On the Basilisk it’s a configuration change: submersibles and diver comms deploy from the same hull, on the same day, colored by the same DIT.
FAQ
Underwater questions
What underwater tools does the Basilisk carry?+
Depending on the shoot, the Basilisk deploys RC submersibles for cinematography, wireless diver communications, and multi-camera underwater rigs. All feeds return topside to the on-board Dark Room for live monitoring and grading.
Do you supply certified underwater cinematographers?+
Yes. We coordinate with certified underwater DPs, safety divers, and dive supervisors, and integrate client-supplied underwater crews into the Basilisk's comms and video systems on request.
Can surface, aerial, and underwater coverage all happen at once?+
That is the point of the MPV. The Basilisk can run camera-arm surface coverage, a drone in the air, and an RC submersible below simultaneously, with every feed graded live in the same Dark Room.
