Shark Productions - 30 Years Later

Television and documentary crews from around the planet have discovered Isla Guadalupe and Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. From Discovery Channel to National Geographic, they have been astounded at the water quality and ease of shooting these magnificent Great Whites and Tigers...but these unique sharks sites are only the beginning.

Due to unprecedented demand by production companies for our shark production services Shark Diver created a full service shark production support company at Shark Divers in 2006. With rave reviews for our services based on safety, site management, and budget constraint, we'll get you the sharks when you want, on time and on budget.

Sharks Divers crews have enabled top rate shark productions for many of the major networks, mainstream media outlets, and documentary crews worldwide. Our focus is on solid story telling, pro-shark productions, unique destinations and broadbased appeal.

We can show you how to shoot better productions with sharks. We have done it with Discovery, SPIKE, CNN, Ushuaia TV, Yes/No Productions, AT and T and many more. It's all in the budget, crews, shark sites and stories we put together with you. Let's face it, after 30 years of shark programming the viewing public is savvy about sharks, we'll show you how to give them something new.

Shark Divers brings together a wide selection of diverse and recognized talent within both the shark tourism field and film and television. Our mission is to bring you the tools and talent you need within the desired time frame and budget, and give you tangible results for any underwater shark project you have in mind. We source dive crews of any size, design and fabricate cage systems, source vessels and develop complete underwater dive sites and new shark sites all tailored to your specific needs and requests. We can also act on a consultation basis providing you with qualified shark experts when you need them for any project.

Imagine being able to ship expensive gear separately from the crew vessel, or adding specialty gear and crew as the shoot and local conditions demand. If you loose a piece of equipment we can get a replacement to you such as camera housings in a short order. Full shark production support means that your dollars go further and you have the shark diving crews, the gear, and the local expertise that you need to get the job done. We also have budget minded staff and a relaxed can-do attitude towards shoots. Shark diving is our business and we take it seriously.

Cage Design, Rentals and Vessels

Typically film crews look to shoot with cage systems they would like to use. Some cage designs are suitable for some shoots and other cage designs are not. We have the ability to fabricate any cage design to your specs if you need it, on short order. We also rent cage systems for the Bahamas, California and Mexico. Each vessel in the Shark Diver fleet has its own characteristics. Depending on your budget, your timeline, and your needs, chances are we have the vessels for you…at the budget you can afford.
