Capturing Underwater Magic: Springs Documentary and BLU3 Dive Systems – Water Bear Photography

September 3rd, 2023     |     By BLU3     |

Venturing beneath the water surface brings its unique set of challenges, especially when it involves capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature for a springs documentary. The complexity increases tenfold, but thanks to our faithful ally, BLU3 dive systems, we navigated this intricate terrain with ease and efficiency.

The practicality and functionality of BLU3 dive systems elevated our filming process, transforming it into a seamless experience. Gone were the days of incessant dives, quick shots, and frequent resurfacing. With BLU3, we stayed submerged, stabilized, and focused, capturing awe-inspiring angles and shots that were once out of reach.

SCUBA gear has been our tried and true companion during underwater expeditions. However, BLU3's exceptional features have positioned it as a worthy alternative. Always at the ready, this dive system let us jump right into action, making it an essential piece of our equipment kit for the documentary project.

You never know what will happen when you're under the water. On one memorable dive, I found myself surrounded by a school of fish, a moment of surprise and delight. The fish seemed unbothered by my presence, swimming casually around me. This harmonious interaction, courtesy of BLU3’s non-intrusive nature, emphasized the powerful connections we can forge with marine life.

We were having such an unforgettable experience and we didn’t want it to end! Lucky for us, we were able to pop back up to the surface (briefly) to swap out our battery for a new one. And within approximately one minute, we were back underneath the surface with our fish friends.

BLU3 gives access to diving remote locations you may not be able to reach with dive tanks due to location/proximity. We were also able to recharge our dead battery while we continued to venture below. Batteries are rechargeable from almost anywhere (even your car or a solar panel)!

Beyond its practical advantages, BLU3 dive systems significantly contributed to our storytelling and cinematography. With the liberty to stay underwater longer, we could focus more on the craft - capturing the shots we needed, perfecting our camera movements, and adjusting our lighting and settings. This allowed us to translate our envisioned stories onto the screen effectively, making BLU3 not just a dive system, but an enabler of our creative expression.

The BLU3 dive system has been an indispensable tool for us, revolutionizing our underwater shoots, and enhancing our storytelling capabilities. Our Springs documentary project was undoubtedly made better because of it. With BLU3, we can look forward to more exciting, fun, and successful underwater projects, capturing the heart of the ocean one dive at a time.

Join us in our next dive and see what BLU3 can do for you. The underwater world is full of wonder, and with BLU3, it's within everyone's grasp. Dive in and let the adventure begin!
