We at Drenched Productions have always worked with and featured high-quality products, from our camera gear through to our apparel, scuba equipment, and even our maintenance tools.

Our founder, Captain Nate’s passion for the sea was born from his first bubbles blown at the age of 14 and blossomed during growth into a PADI instructor and underwater videographer. Nate continued to hone his craft for several years, making commercials for various dive companies, and eventually founded his own company in Drenched Productions!
Alongside running Drenched Productions, Nate caught the sailing bug and soon bought his new home base, the Sylfia, in 2019. With a mobile base of operations and a passion for educating people about the ocean, he then founded Expedition Drenched; a marine educational non-profit creating entertaining and informative videos about the Sylfia’s voyages around the South Pacific Ocean and Australia.
