Commercial Film Projects Undersea Hunter Research vessel

The “UNDERSEA HUNTER” fleet consists of two long-range ocean going vessels:
The research vessels “UNDERSEA HUNTER” and “SEA HUNTER” are registered in Costa Rica and certified for International Voyages.
Both vessels meet international safety standards for emergency equipment and offer an extended expedition range of some 5000 nautical miles. Our ships have a proven autonomous endurance of up to 30 days, the limiting factor only being the re-supply of fresh food.
With an average cruising speed of 10 Knots, the vessels can safely and comfortably reach the most isolated corners of the undersea world.
Our company offers true “Global Diving Support Vessels” for your commercial film production.

The Sea Hunter is 115 feet of live-aboard comfort and convenience. It is a dedicated modern dive cruiser that has been specifically built for long-range dive expeditions to destinations like Cocos Island and Malpelo. A former commercial dive support vessel, she was robustly built in1980 to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1994 we purchased Sea Hunter and through eight months of extensive renovation and refurbishing, turned the boat into the striking vessel she is today. A superbly comfortable, stable and spacious vessel with everything a serious diver/photographer could wish. She is now a rare hybrid that combines the large working platform and powerful machinery of a functional workboat, with the comfortable and functional interior of a modern luxury yacht.

The research vessel Undersea Hunter was built in Florida in 1968 for Perry Oceanographic and was used for twenty years as a submarine support vessel. Working primarily in the Bahamas and the Caribbean, she completed hundreds of research and photographic missions including the Deep Rover Project with Dr. Sylvia Earle. Undersea Hunter´s closest brush with fame - so far - was her participation as support vessel for the James Bond movie "License to Kill."
