Underwater Lighting
Submersible lighting for your Mexican underwater production.
Underwater lighting requires specialized waterproof fixtures to illuminate subjects beneath the surface. Mexico is uniquely positioned with the iconic Baja Studios 17-million-gallon ocean tank in Rosarito—built for Titanic and used by Pearl Harbor, Master and Commander, and others—plus the Caribbean clarity of the Riviera Maya and the rich Sea of Cortez at Los Cabos.
We supply professional submersible lighting systems and qualified dive crews across Mexico City, Baja California, Jalisco, and the Yucatán. Our team coordinates dive-rated LED and HMI fixtures, battery systems, and experienced underwater gaffers, with full support for Baja Studios tank work and CONANP coordination for marine protected areas.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What underwater lighting options do you offer?
We offer LED and HMI submersible lights rated for various depths, scaled for the Baja Studios 17-million-gallon ocean tank as well as Riviera Maya cenote and reef shoots. LED units run cool; HMI delivers powerful daylight-balanced output for the largest setups.
How deep can you light underwater?
Our equipment is rated for various depths—many units to 100m or more. Depth requirements depend on the specific production needs, and we select appropriate equipment accordingly.
Do you provide dive-qualified lighting technicians?
Yes, our underwater lighting technicians are qualified divers experienced at Baja Studios and Mexico's Pacific and Caribbean dive sites. They can operate lights underwater while maintaining proper dive protocols.
What about color temperature underwater?
Water absorbs red light quickly with depth. We use daylight-balanced lights and can add filters to compensate. Color correction is easier with proper lighting than trying to fix in post.
Can you light large underwater areas?
Yes, we can deploy multiple units for large-scale underwater lighting setups, including the massive Baja Studios ocean tank stage. This enables the kind of dramatic underwater scenes major Hollywood productions have shot in Mexico.
What Mexican waters do you work in?
We work the iconic Baja Studios ocean tank in Rosarito, the Caribbean clarity of the Riviera Maya, the Sea of Cortez at Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific, and the Yucatán cenotes—plus pool stages in Mexico City for controlled work.
