Wherever there is filming underwater,
Reeldivers can provide the support – the training, the safety, the
equipment – everything that is needed for successful underwater
productions.
Our experience ranges from major feature films, such as Warner Brothers
SPHERE, to TV shows and commercials.
In the summer of 2003 Kris joined an exciting James Cameron expedition
to the mid-Atlantic Ridge. With the Russian ship Keldish, the Greek ship
Ares and four manned submersibles, they successfully filmed thermal vents
and discovered new species in the very deep ocean. Called Xtreme Life,
this IMAX 3-D production features photography by Vince Pace.
Dustin Hoffman successfully ties up a bowling ball in one of the underwater training exercises devised by Kris for all the actors - Sharon Stone, Queen Latifah, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Coyote and Liev Schreiber.

“If Kris and Jeanie can inspire confidence
in me they can do it with anyone. They are the best! They were responsible
for one of the most satisfying, most professional, informative and entertaining
experiences I have had in my entire film career”.
—Peter Coyote on SPHERE
