The Underwater Channel (UWC) is the creation of Emmy award-winning Producer/Director Nicholas Claxton. The idea for a free broadband channel dedicated to the underwater world came about when Nicholas Claxton was producing a television documentary about Red Sea coral reefs in 2006.
On UWC, Splash! is presented by the Faces of the Channel all of whom are experienced divers and engaging characters. Splash! combines bite-sized topics, interviews, reviews, resort reports, a photography master class and features of international interest.

Kenzo Perfumes
Kenzo commissioned Blue Eye FX Productions to construct the water shots required for the launch of the new advertising for their new perfume release. It was an interesting project that ultimately required the use of a crane (which was difficult to locate on short notice in the Sinai) so we had to ask a big burly bloke to carry Debs around instead. Debs had a lot of fun!
