Testimonials
"Simon has been my go-to man for underwater synch filming since I first worked with him over fifteen years ago. He is excellent in the water, and reads animal behaviour well- both a must when working with potentially dangerous animals . He’s happy to contribute creatively with big picture ideas and take the lead, or work to a tight brief.
His ex-factor has always been his ability to read presenters , clearly direct them underwater and nail two shots with limited opportunities . I’ve often come up from dives surprised what he milked from a seemingly difficult situation . And, at the end of a filming day , a pleasure to be around."

"Simon Enderby is my favourite underwater camera operator to work with, for lots of reasons, he's a phenomenal shooter, he's a great diver, very adept at getting into the right places at the right time, but more than anything he is a marine biologist who really understands animals and so he has a really good idea of how they are going to react, where he should put himself, where not to put himself and is always in the right place. You cant overestimate that. I mean you can learn how to dive and you can learn how to shoot, but if you cant put yourself into the mind of the animals that you are working with then simply you are not going to get the shot. We have been working together now for probably 15 years maybe a little bit more, he has never ever let me down and is the most fun, most dedicated member you will ever get on any team. So for anyone out there considering of hiring him do it in an instant.”

"“I have known Simon for over 20 years since his underwater film work on the BAFTA award winning BBC Deadly 60 series which premiered in 2009 and has gone onto be a global brand viewed on 100+ territories. Simon builds good rapport with key presenters and goes out of his way to get the very best sync shots and brings a wealth of experience of marine life to ensure he delivers impressive results of the highest quality.
Crucially, with the complexity and risks associated with filming underwater Simon brings a high level of skill and attention to detail to ensure film trips run smoothly and without incident.
He is also a great team player who works hard and is a valuable member of any filming crew.”

"Simon is a total legend… we were so fortunate to have such a welcoming, knowledgable, supportive and brilliant fixer in Simon throughout our filming trip for ‘Naomi’s Nightmares of Nature’, he ensured that our whole schedule ran super smoothly.
If you’re in need of high quality, stunning underwater footage, Simon is your man. His kind reassurances to me personally and his attention to detail meant that our team was always kept safe in the water under his direction. Simon will bring a lot of warmth and joy to any shoot, I really hope we will get to work together again before too long."
