In June 1999, the world's most capable exploration group, Global Underwater Explorers (www.gue.com) enlisted the help of Halcyon in their efforts to film a documentary of the world's largest shipwreck. The Britannic sits at 400 feet off a remote Greek island in waters known locally as unpredictable and dangerous.

The demanding needs of diving in these environments required robust lighting and reliable underwater video housings. Of the several popular video housings utilized by the team, only the Halcyon system performed flawlessly. Electronic controlled housings both leaked and malfunctioned due to excess pressure while other units were unable to adequately manage the problems excess pressure created on their manual controls.

Halcyon's video housing is the epitome of utilitarianism. This simple, one-piece aluminum tube is caped on each end by clear acrylic. The clear rear panel allows divers visual access to the camera. The front of the housing contains an integrated wide-angle lens that insures optimal filming and easy visual access to o-rings and housing contents.

Halcyon limits video controls to essential video tools, avoiding the confusion and error prone events that occur when divers manipulate multiple video settings. The mechanical Halcyon controls give divers full access to power and recording options.
