The team at UWCamerastore.com wishes you happy holidays and above all good health and happiness in 2026, with time for the things that matter to you. Hopefully many enjoyable dives and fine underwater images!

The holiday seasonn brings cold-water dives, warm drinks afterwards, and gift giving. If you need a practical gift for an underwater photo or video user, accessories and starter sets can suit many budgets and experience levels.

Good lighting with external strobes is essential in underwater photography. Since many modern mirrorless and DSLR cameras no longer have a built-in flash, photographers use flash triggers and TTL converters to enable firing their strobes in perfect sync at any depth.

Finding a suitable gift for an underwater photographer can be challenging. Equipment, housings and accessories often depend on individual setups. A gift voucher is a practical option that lets the recipient choose exactly what they need, whether that’s a new port, lighting accessory or replacement part.

On Saturday, October 25th, 2025, we hosted the Nauticam Experience Day at Onderwaterhuis.nl in Oud Gastel. A full day dedicated to underwater photography, inspiring stories, and great company. We were honored to welcome Mr. Edward Lai, founder and CEO of Nauticam, who travelled all the way from Hong Kong together with Phoebe Lu to join us for this special event.

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, we are hosting a special Nauticam Experience Day. From 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, the program will focus on presentations, product demos, and Q&A sessions. The morning program will feature lectures by Blue Motion Pictures and Faycal Chabini, and Edward Lai (founder and CEO of Nauticam) and Phoebe Lu of Nauticam will answer questions from visitors.

If you shoot underwater macro, you probably know the dilemma:
You’ve got a 90 mm or 105 mm macro lens, which is great for shy subjects, but sometimes you wish you had the wider, more forgiving look of a 60 mm macro, without swapping lenses mid-dive.
That’s exactly where the Nauticam MFO-3 Macro Wet Lens comes in.

Do you want to take your iPhone safely underwater and capture stunning underwater photos and videos? A Divevolk waterproof iPhone case is the answer. With the innovative Divevolk SeaTouch cases, your smartphone becomes a fully functional underwater camera waterproof down to 60 meters, with a touchscreen that works flawlessly underwater.

“Should I get a dome port, or is a wet lens a better choice?”

It’s a question we hear all the time at UWcamerastore.com and for good reason. If you're just getting into underwater photography or looking to upgrade your gear, deciding between a dome port and a wet lens is a big step. Both options have their strengths and limitations, and the right choice really comes down to your shooting style, camera setup, and what you want to capture beneath the surface.

In this blog, we’ll break down the differences and help you figure out which one fits your underwater world best.
