  Charles Maxwell founded Underwater Video Services in 1990. Charles is an underwater cinematographer with an excellent knowledge of the South African marine environment. Due to the convergence of two mighty ocean currents, South Africa supports an amazing biodiversity of marine life.

Besides running an extensive marine library, specialising in (but not confined to) shark and marine mammal footage, we offer a marine based support service to wildlife documentary film makers. This service includes underwater filming, logistical support and the supply of cameras, housings, polecams, towcams, professional divers and diving boats. All divers supplied by us are registered with the Department of Labour as professional divers.

Local Time: GMT + 2 hours
