Aquatica is the maker of our most rugged anodized aluminum underwater camera housings. The Aquatica Canon EOS R5 Housing has been specially designed to withstand the harshest dive conditions - from crushing surf entries to ripping currents. The housing is small and each control is elegantly oriented so that you can utilize any control within a finger's reach of the handles. The Aquatica EOS R5 compact and lightweight which makes it great to bring when going on dive trips. The main body is built from high-quality aluminum and the control shafts and buttons are made of the finest grade stainless steel which makes it robust, durable and it's built to last a lifetime. All buttons, levers and dials are readily available at your fingertips and can be easily accessible even while wearing thick gloves.
