Television.

Television work this year has included Pavlo Petri - City Beneath The Waves, an underwater archaeology documentary for the BBC shot in Greece.
Iceland, Orkney, Ireland and the Azores were all visited for a new
series for S4C and BBC, filming included Whales, Ice Caves, Thermal vents and a host of other East Atlantic wildlife and natural history. ‘Jewels of Wales’, again for BBC and S4C saw us filming underground at Dan-Yr-Ogof caves in the Brecon Beacons and Cwmorthin Slate Mine in Snowdonia. Other highlights included a quick trip to Belize to fi
lm in the famous Blue Hole for a major new BBC series ’23 Degrees’ was followed by ‘dry’ dives in a decompression chamber and a very hot day spent in a climate chamber filming a light hearted look at human physiology for the BBC’s ‘Ask a Silly Question’.

ROV ~ NEMO.

NEMO has now progressed to version 5. S
maller, lighter, faster and smarter! Theres a new frame, new thrusters and a fully computerised control system. There are now four cameras in total and for science work a new sampling grabber arm. Whilst principally designed as a TV filming tool the HD quality images are proving a great hit with scientists and we are now involved in several research projects. Depth capability has also been increased to -400m.

NEMO pages in the menu top right.
