Miscellaneous accessories for underwater photography systems

This category contains a small range of underwater imaging accessories that do not fit into other groups. It does not include general photography gear such as tripods or flashes. Instead, it focuses on tools designed for use with housings and cameras under water.

Examples include smartphone adapters for use with smartphone underwater housings, vacuum kits for leak monitoring, and calibration slates for white balance adjustment during dives.

Key roles of miscellaneous underwater tools

These accessories provide support, safety, and added convenience when operating camera systems.

• Adapters for fitting smartphones into housings
• Vacuum kits for pre-dive housing checks

Protective and calibration accessories

White balance slates restore accurate colour capture by compensating for underwater light loss. Screen shields and LCD hoods improve visibility by reducing surface glare during dives.

Caps and covers protect sensitive parts such as lenses and camera bodies. Neoprene mats provide a cushioned surface for preparing or maintaining gear between dives.

Silica gel packs help prevent condensation inside housings. By absorbing excess moisture, they reduce the chance of fogging on lens ports or camera screens. Packs should be stored airtight when not in use and replaced regularly, especially in humid climates.

Practical advice on using these small accessories

Though compact, these items can significantly improve reliability and equipment care. Vacuum kits add early leak detection, while caps and covers extend the lifespan of ports and housings.

By combining the right accessories, divers achieve safer handling and reduce the risk of equipment damage before, during, and after dives.
