Undersea Productions


Established in 2006, and based in Australia, our award-winning business specializes in underwater images. We film and produce marine life DVDs, as well as creating custom productions for clients. We also teach people how they can improve their own underwater imaging skills. Our website has an online marine stock footage library and an online gallery of underwater photographs. And, for a more immersive experience of the ocean environment, we offer small group expeditions to world-class dive destinations.

Growing up in England, Italy and Canada, Liz began using an SLR camera and developing her own black-and-white film at age 11. Following university and a decade in London's corporate world, she learned to dive… and never looked back. After becoming a dive instructor and emigrating to warmer climes in 2002, Liz now combines her life-long hobby—photography—with her new-found fascination—the underwater world. More about Liz...

Giving Back

We're honoured to donate our time and resources to marine conservation non-profits and education programs.

eol.org

We proudly support the Encyclopedia of Life, one of the most comprehensive biodiversity sites on the web, with a vision of global access to knowledge about life on Earth. We donate our entire video catalogue: over 29000 clips of more than 2600 species.

ARKive.org

Almost 300 video clips of endangered marine life go to the folks at ARKive. They're creating a kind of digital Noah's Ark—a global initiative gathering together films, photographs and audio recordings of the world's endangered species.

FishBase.org

Fishbase has access to our entire fish catalogue—over 12,000 clips of more than 1300 species. Fishbase is a vast online scientific reference library, much-loved by fish geeks like us.

Project Manta

We've donated over 100 video clips to Project Manta, helping the scientists identify individual manta rays and track their movements.

WhyVille

We contributed a few dozen clips for the kids to learn about marine life at the tween virtual world WhyReef, a project developed in tandem with The Field Museum in Chicago.

FishBase.org

Our images joined those from 99 other underwater photographers in Ocean Lovers' book Wonderful Water Planet, a pictorial A-Z of marine animals. The books were donated to the non-profit Room To Read, and sent to children in developing countries.

AMCS.org

We also support the Australian Marine Conservation Society, an independent non-profit staffed by scientists, educators and advocates who work to protect ocean wildlife.
