A properly functioning Nauticam leak detector provides an additional indication that the housing remains dry during a dive. We sometimes receive questions about the leak detector, for example when the alarm does not beep or continues to flash. In this blog, we go through the checks and steps described by Nauticam for these situations.
After use in salt water, lenses and ports should be soaked and rinsed in clean fresh water, preferably demineralised water. This helps dissolve salt crystals and prevent corrosion. If only a limited amount of fresh water is available between dives, Nauticam advises using a plastic bottle with a small hole in the cap.
Between two boat dives, your complete setup will usually remain assembled. Rinse it with fresh water after the first dive, but do not leave it in the shared rinse tank where other cameras may contact it. If there is no camera table on board, wrap the fully assembled setup in a towel or another soft material and place it in a safe location. This keeps the equipment protected until the next dive.

Build a dependable setup that fits your camera and goals. Start with the right underwater housing or waterproof camera case, then add lenses, ports, trays, arms and lighting. Our team shoots underwater and gives practical, brand-agnostic advice.
Shooting photos? Use one or two strobes for clean detail and colour. Filming video? Choose video lights with a wide beam angle and sufficient lumen output for the conditions. Not sure what matches your camera and lens? Tell us the model. We verify ports, trays, cables and buoyancy so your rig feels right in the water. We pack quickly and ship worldwide with tracked delivery. Questions? Find answers on our FAQ page.
Choosing the right underwater camera gear and setup depends on how and where you plan to use it. Whether you are snorkeling, diving or working in more advanced environments, every setup starts with the right combination of camera, housing and lighting.
From compact cameras and smartphone underwater imaging to professional systems with interchangeable lenses, each option has its own advantages. If you already own a camera, you can start with a matching underwater housing. If you prefer a quick and reliable solution, you can choose one of our underwater camera sets.
An underwater camera setup can be expanded depending on your experience and goals. Many users start simple and upgrade over time with accessories that improve stability, control, versatility and image quality.
Additional components such as trays and arms allow you to mount strobes, video lights and lenses, expand your setup and keep it stable underwater.
Light fades quickly underwater, which affects colour and contrast. Adding external lighting helps restore natural tones and improve image quality.
For underwater photography, strobes are used to capture sharp images with accurate colours. For underwater video, continuous video lights provide stable illumination. You can compare different options in our strobes and lights category.
Underwater imaging is not limited to traditional cameras. Smartphone underwater imaging offers an accessible way to get started, especially for travel and snorkeling. Dedicated smartphone underwater housings allow full touchscreen control and reliable sealing underwater.
For more advanced applications, underwater drones (ROV systems) are used for exploration, inspection and professional imaging. These systems offer new possibilities beyond traditional camera setups.
We operate an in-house pressure testing tank. Our technicians service and repair underwater housings. We are an authorised service centre for Nauticam, Weefine, AOI and INON in the Benelux/Europe.
Our underwater camera specialists are available in the showroom, by phone, by chat or by email. We provide practical guidance for photo and video setups.
We are open six days a week. No appointment needed. Visit our showroom to compare gear and check compatibility. We keep a large in-stock selection.
