Underwater Lighting
Submersible lighting for your Japanese underwater production.
Underwater lighting requires specialized waterproof fixtures to illuminate subjects beneath the surface. Japan's archipelago offers exceptional underwater variety—the warm clear coral waters of Okinawa, dramatic Izu Peninsula and Sanriku Coast volcanic seascapes, and the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan—each demanding fixtures matched to depth, current, and visibility.
We supply professional submersible lighting systems and qualified dive crews across Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Okinawa. Our team coordinates dive-rated LED and HMI fixtures, battery systems, and experienced underwater gaffers, with coast guard and harbor authority coordination for coastal shoots.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What underwater lighting options do you offer?
We offer LED and HMI submersible lights rated for various depths, ideal for Okinawa's clear coral water and the cooler conditions of the Izu Peninsula and Sanriku Coast. LED units run cool; HMI delivers powerful daylight-balanced output for larger scenes.
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 who understand both lighting craft and diving safety. 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. This requires careful planning for power, positioning, and safety but enables dramatic underwater scenes.
What Japanese waters do you work in?
We work the warm reef waters of Okinawa, the volcanic seascapes of the Izu Peninsula and Sanriku Coast, and the Sea of Japan. We also operate in pool stages and water tanks at Tokyo and Osaka studios for controlled scenes.
