Hydrus was established in 1998 to fill a void in the aquatic services provided to the entertainment industry in Washington. From capturing underwater images, to supplying aquatic specialists for feature films, to underwater salvage, to our own in-house productions, the beginning of Hydrus was built on a foundation that revolved around the aquatic world.Starting in 1999, key members of Hydrus dove into a unique project that would ultimately change the direction of the company forever. In 2001, while between different aquatic projects, Hydrus made history by being the first to successfully attract and scuba dive with the massive and elusive Six Gill sharks in shallow waters off of Seattle, WA while the animals were feeding. Over an 8-year period, Hydrus created a one of a kind program to attract Six Gill sharks and during those years documented new animal behavior never seen before by science. This attracted the likes of Discovery Channel and others, which ultimately led to a working relationship within the television universe.
Once Hydrus was contracted to produce their first series for Discovery Communications, the opportunity arose to diversify into the music side of the entertainment industry. As with every new adventure, the full brunt of Hydrus was put behind this new endeavor creating a foundation that allows both the Production Division and Music Division to work seamlessly together.
As Hydrus has diversified over the past 13 years into all aspects of the entertainment industry, the essence of Hydrus will always be connected to those dark and cold days spending time in the cold murky waters off Seattle, making history and proving to the world that if you put your mind to something, anything is possible.
