Denny Willis

Producer / Director / Editor / UW Cameraman

Eleanore Willis

Producer / Writer

The first official production of Bottom Time Productions was the award winning travel TV program, Dive Travel TV. Television production was new to the team but prior to the start of Bottom Time Productions, Denny & Eleanore worked for years as a team, shooting, editing and scripting videos both above and below the surface.

In 1983 they were among the 2nd group to document the WWII wrecks of Micronesia, the 1st being Jaques Cousteau's film documentary. Video technology was now available and certainly more affordable than film. Shot underwater in a custom made video housing, their video was presented at Beneath The Sea, the longest running and largest consumer Dive Expo in the country.
