Becky has always been attracted to water, but her curiosity about what lay beneath the waves became an obsession from a young age. She always knew documenting the underwater world is what she wanted to do.  Becky is a professional underwater videographer, photographer, 3D cameraman, and technical diver. She's an Emmy Award winning Photojournalist that has worked for major news networks including CBS and Fox News, shooting video in all types of situations from major hurricanes to the Presidential Election. She has over 17 years of dive experience logging thousands of hours underwater in various conditions and extreme environments past 350feet. Becky first picked up a camera at age 12 to show her family and friends the underwater world. She later became a NAUI Scuba Instructor, and holds certifications in Cave diving, Trimix, Rescue, and several Rebreathers. As a cameraman her projects have taken her all over the globe from documenting historic wrecks in Truk Lagoon, Japan and the Great Lakes, to capturing stunning video of marine life including Great White Sharks, Humpback Whales, and Wild Dolphins. Becky has photographed cave systems worldwide and participated in several exploration projects. For the past 4 years she has worked closely with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory using the latest in HD and 3D technology above and below the surface. With them she's participated in many exciting projects with the National Park Service Submerged Resources Center and  NOAA. Projects include documenting famous wrecks such as the USS Monitor, the U-869 and the 2010 Titanic Expedition. She acquired a client list including National Geographic, The Military channel, Discovery Science, NBC, CBS, FOX and Current TV.

She holds a Bachelors degree from the University of Tampa in Journalism.


Becky feels fortunate to be able to combine her two passions in life, photography and diving. She also believes in conservation through education, and there is no better way to educate and inspire someone about our fragile underwater world than through compelling imagery. "I really love and respect our oceans and want to see them protected for the future. Its all magical and to be a part of that world for a moment, then to share it though moving image or photography is a true treasure."


Becky is also part of the Advanced Diver Magazine Video Productions Staff & The Karst Underwater Research team,  a member of the National Association for Cave Diving, and a member and Emmy Award winner of The National Academy of Television Arts and  Sciences

David Schott is a professional underwater Videographer, Stereographer, 3D Camera Operator and Technical diver. Diving since 1999 he has logged thousands of dives both open water and technical. He holds certifications in Trimix, Full Cave, Rescue and several Closed Circuit Rebreathers. Living and working in the Philadelphia area, he first became actively involved in Northeast wreck diving. He then earned his full cave certification and began diving cave systems in Florida and Mexico. After numerous technical dives, Dave realized the need to switch to closed circuit rebreathers in order to extend bottom times for videography on deep and technical cave dives. Now with thousands of hours on the Megalodon Rebreather, he has the comfort, technical ability, and skills needed for deep dives in many challenging environments ranging from the shallows of the Caribbean to depths in excess of 400 feet off of New Jersey, as well as North and Central American Cave systems.


David has worked on many projects with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) Advanced Imaging and Visualization (AIVL)  laboratory including NOAA's "Project Shiphunt"  in Lake Huron and the 2011 Battle of the Atlantic Expedition documenting the historic wrecks in North Carolina. Dave has been diving and documenting many famous shipwrecks including the USS Monitor, the Andrea Doria and participated in the 2010 Titanic Expedition. He is currently working as one of the primary underwater videographers documenting the exploration of the deepest cave in the United States at over 400 feet deep.  He also worked as a stereographer for the first Discovery commissioned 3D program and many other 3D programs both in-air and underwater. He has experience shooting aerials from planes and airships, trekking through the swamp, ice diving, and diving in extreme environments for the perfect shot. David has worked as a model, safety diver, underwater camera operator, stereographer, and topside videographer on documentaries and educational DVD's from the caves of Florida to the beaches of Hawaii.


Dave earned his Bachelor's degree in Economics/Public Policy at Lebanon Valley College. He completed his MBA at Widener University with a concentration in Finance and Marketing in 2004. Dave commits his time and availability to the management and projects of Liquid Productions, LLC.
