Vancouver's Underwater Film Credits

Vancouver has long been refered to as 'Hollywoood North' because of its close proximity to Los Angels and its ability to shoot dozens of productions at the same time. Vancouver's film industry infracture is second only to Hollywood itself and Vancouver's track record in shooting dramatic underwater feature film productions is as good or better than anywhere in the world. Underwater filming in Vancouver is world-class.

WOW!! You're still reading! I probably missed a lot of Vancouver productions that had underwater scenes. I've tried to list all the water shows from the 21st century as well as from the '90s and even some from the '80s. You remember the '80s!! You should. The film industry in Vancouver was barely starting to take off in the '80s. Now we are the second largest film production center in North America and still growing. Keep up the good work, Vancouver; stay humble, and work hard. As Vancouver Key Grip Dave Gordon said long ago, "You are working on your reputation every day". Thank you Vancouver for the past 20 years and all the best for the next 20.
