Macro underwater photography and Classes
Reed Nescher under the Turks & Caicos Aggressor II with Macro Lens
I am Reed Nescher and I founded TWO TANKED PRODUCTIONS to provide a service to the Dive and Entertainment industry with good quality Video and Photography of the underwater world that I have been a part of for over 35 years not counting the endless hours setting on top of a surfboard watching the sea under me and feeling a part of natures greatest wonder the Ocean and all that it hides and holds. I have grown up around Boats, Fishing, Surfing, the beauty of the Sea, and sense 1972 the underwater portion of our world. As Two Tanked Productions I have traveled the world and meet many interesting people and have had equally exciting adventures from the Jungles of Central America, the White Sand Beaches of the Bahamas, The Exotic South Pacific, and the Ocean that still calls to me to bring back pictures of her beauty and record the adventure for so many.

We have worked with Howard & Michele Hall in Belize on a major project for release in late 2006. For more information on Howard & Michele go to Howardhall.com . We have completed underwater footage assignments for The National Geographic Channel's Expeditions to the Edge: episode titled Sunken Sub. I have trained with Rod Kline the original digital editor of Fathoms magazine. I have shot video alongside Chuck Nicklin in Fiji and shot video and stills with Joseph Davola of Dive Training Magazine in Spooky Channel at Roatan Honduras. I am full Cave Certified and trained at Cave Excursions by Bill Rennaker and John Orlowsky.

I also carry the title of SR. Reed a Knight of the Conch Republic, Knighted by Mel Fisher Himself, King of the Conch Republic, in 1997. I have been diving since 1972 when I was trained by Otto F. W. Gasser at Cal-Poly Pomona. I am LA County Certified, PADI Senior Advanced Diver, NAUI Master SCUBA Diver, NAUI Nitrox, SDI Solo Diver, NSS-CDS Cave Diver, National Association for Cave Diving, and IANTD Cave Certified for Nitrox. Also Rescue International Dive Rescue 1 certified and SDI Oxygen administer and Defibrillator operator.

I now have over four-thousand one hundred dives around the world. I dive with Wiley's Scuba Locker and traveled extensively in the Caribbean & South Pacific. I Teach digital Photography classes as well as underwater video instruction. I have been published in news papers (Press Enterprise) and many internet news letters and web sites including the Official PADI site, as well as winning a number of digital photography contests and art shows around the South Land. My pictures have been published in numerous books to date. I have Published twenty seven Coffee Table books featuring my Photos. I am skilled with Avid Pro editing software and Adobe Photo Shop. I sell many of my Photographs in the Southern California Area and have produced and directed dozens of dive videos & underwater production assignments. I was also an active member, for six and half years, of the Riverside County's Search and Recovery Dive Team. I am is also qualified on most salvage lift devises and have worked with California State Department of Parks on boat and evidence recovery a long with Tony Wiley. I am known as "Papa Bear" to many of my friends and fellow divers and can be found on MySpace.com/nescher


 

Photo Shop is the standard for the industry! We use this program on all of our projects. If you can't attended our classes on Photo Shop this teaching program is the next best thing our can be used in conjunction with our classes. This could be the answer to at home training on a terrific program that is a must if you take Photographs.


 
 
 

We hope to be your source of underwater adventure, Videos, Photos, Training, and a place of resources for both the entertainment industry and the public. We hope to attract the diving public to a site that will be interesting and educational as well as fun and informative.

We hope to be a forum for talent from the dive industry and the diving public. A place for talented production professional and amateur videograhers and photographers to display their best work and have an opportunity to be seen by a large audience.

We are open to suggestions as to the secondary direction this site might take. We are active divers who enjoy what we do and want to share it with the dry world. We hope that in doing so will promote SCUBA Diving, help preserve the worlds reefs, and introduce the underwater world and its beauty to the many that have not gone our will not go.

This site will be built slowly over the next couple years and will morph as needed to help as we can in furthering our mission.

Please feel free to use our message board to ask questions of your piers. Post important questions and hopefully get answers from the best in the industry. This is a great place to ask about your next location or adventure location. Where to stay and what to see, plus what are the inside scoops that will make your trip better!
