Underwater Communications:

 

Underwater communicationsAndy can provide a complete "wireless" underwater communications package, enabling two-way communications between "diver & diver" and "surface & diver". This system is extremely useful for safe and easy co-ordination of the action in front of the camera.

 

On the surface the director and/or safety supervisor can communicate either by with a push to talk handset/speaker combo or with a headphone/microphone headset. This gives the director a very clear picture of what is going on underwater whilst being able to sit and watch the video assist.

 

 

surface communication

Underwater, divers wear Aga Full Face Masks (FFM) containing a waterproof microphone and earpiece. There are also separate Earpiece Receivers Units which can be worn by the cameraman if a FFM is not suitable or given to an actor or a presenter/contributor who is in-front of the camera.
