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.
