Dance - Filming underwater

All though we have decided not to film underwater any more after a few complications  which i will mention in another post we did do a lot of research into it so i thought id write a post on it any way.

So we were worried that filming under water was going to need lots of risk assessments and be very complicated and hard  so we went to tim savage to talk to him about it.

He gave us a special risk assessment form and said filming somewhere like farnham pool isn't as big of a risk as we thought it would be  how ever we would need to look into a life guard and breathing equipment .

we looked around online for breathing equipment how ever it all looked really complicated and we wouldn't know how to use it.  I found a place in woking that dose test dives where you get you put on all the equipment and go underwater for a while and learn how to use it.

This would mean that all we would need to do is rent our own equipment out, i found a place in surrey that rented wetsuits a breathing regulator and oxygen tanks out for £50 a day

molly and kat then rang round all the public swimming pools between here and a 30 mile radius to get price and quotes from them, we also tried private pools and school.

The only two to get back to us were farnham pool and surrey university

fanrham pool quoted us £80 an hour with life guard but we could only film on a Saturday  

surrey pool rent theres out per lane at £20 per hour with life guard  how ever had several question about us filming ( which were understandable ) which seemed very unlikely we could film in there.

because of this all though it would have been a fun experience  it seemed unlikely that we would be able to film underwater.
