DAN CROWELL
ERDI Instructor
I developed my diving skills in the trenches of NYC as a commercial hard-hat diver and as a pioneer of technical scuba diving that I developed from the deck of my former dive boat. As an underwater cinematographer my career began as news crews and TV producers showed up to document our exploits. The underwater DP was always ill suited for the extreme diving conditions we were about to encounter. I offered to take their camera and I guess you could say the rest is history.
Since those days I’ve been actively shooting footage across the globe in some of the most challenging condition imaginable, both in and out of the water. In early 2000 I was hired as director of underwater photography by Kralyevich Productions, Inc. (KPI) who produced 20 episodes of the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives” . In 2007 I was the field and co-producer for my own limited series for Discovery’s Military Channel titled “Quest for Sunken Warships“.
