When choosing an underwater camera housing, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The type of camera you have: Make sure to choose a housing that is specifically designed for your camera model.
  • The features you need: Some housings offer more features than others, such as support for TTL strobes and external microphones.
  • Your budget: Underwater camera housings can range in price from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars.


Once you have considered these factors, you can start to narrow down your choices. Be sure to read reviews of different housings before you make a purchase.


Here are some additional things to keep in mind when choosing and using an underwater camera housing:

  • Make sure that the housing is properly sealed before you take it underwater. Test it by putting it in a sink or bathtub full of water.
  • Use a lanyard to attach the housing to your wrist or dive rig. This will prevent you from losing the housing if it accidentally falls out of your hands.
  • Be careful not to bump the housing against rocks or other hard objects. This could damage the housing or camera.
  • After using the housing, rinse it with fresh water and wipe it dry.

With proper care, your underwater camera housing will last for many years.


Underwater Camera Housings - Quick Tips

  • Aluminum housings are often smaller and have better controls and ergonomics, but cost more
  • Accessories like ports, flash triggers, strobes, mounting balls and TTL converters may not be included
  • Don't forget a bag to carry the underwater housing, a cleaning kit, and a way to tether the housing to your BCD
