Epic Diving offers private shark diving charters specifically designed for film, television, commercial, and immersive media production. Based at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas, we provide controlled, repeatable access to tiger sharks and other species in one of the most reliable shark filming locations in the world.
Our team has supported underwater productions for many years, working on projects ranging from documentaries and commercials to major network programming, including Shark Week, Shark Fest, and VR diving experiences. We understand the demands of professional production and build each charter around your creative, technical, and logistical needs.
Production-Focused Shark Diving Operations
Filming sharks requires more than access. It requires control, consistency, and experience. Our private production charters are designed to support efficient shooting schedules, repeatable behaviors, and flexible dive planning.
We work closely with production teams to coordinate dive timing, subject positioning, lighting considerations, camera movement, and safety protocols. Whether your goal is cinematic wide-angle footage, close-interaction sequences, or specialized capture for immersive media, our operation is structured to support professional workflows.
Experience with Major Productions
Epic Diving has supported a wide range of production projects, including natural history documentaries, commercial shoots, branded content, television specials, and virtual reality experiences. Our work includes collaborations with major networks and production companies producing content for global audiences.
This experience allows us to anticipate production needs, adapt quickly in the field, and maintain the consistency required for professional filming—often across multiple days of shooting.
Why Epic Diving for Shark Filming
Our role goes beyond logistics. We act as an experienced in-water partner who understands how to safely position talent, divers, and camera operators to achieve compelling visuals while maintaining structure and control.
Expert Leadership & Risk Management
Epic Diving’s production charters are supported by a leadership team with deep expertise in both shark behavior and operational safety—an important consideration for productions with strict insurance and risk-management requirements.
Our operations are led by a U.S. board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, providing immediate medical expertise on board and an added layer of safety oversight during complex underwater productions. This background is particularly valued by film crews working under network and studio insurance guidelines.
In addition, our team includes a PhD-level scientist and recognized expert in tiger shark behavior. This expertise allows us to anticipate animal movement, support more predictable interactions, and help production teams capture compelling footage while maintaining safety and ethical standards.
Together, this combination of medical, scientific, and operational experience sets Epic Diving apart as a trusted partner for high-level shark productions.
Customized Planning & Pre-Production Support
Every production charter is fully customized. We work with your team during pre-production to discuss creative objectives, shot requirements, equipment considerations, crew size, and timeline.
This collaborative approach helps reduce uncertainty on location and allows your team to focus on capturing the footage you need.
Safety, Control & Animal Welfare
Safety and animal welfare are central to our operation. Our shark dives are conducted in a controlled environment with experienced professionals who prioritize diver safety, ethical interaction, and respect for the animals.
This approach has made Epic Diving a trusted partner for long-running series and repeat production clients.
