Underwater Housings

Gates Underwater Products is known for building underwater housings that meet all challenges. Their systems are used by professional filmmakers, researchers, and technical teams around the world.

Choosing the right underwater housing starts with your camera model. Not every camera has the same housing options, and some models are available in multiple underwater housings from different brands.

Choosing the right port system for your underwater housing is essential for achieving sharp, distortion-free images underwater. Whether you shoot wide-angle or macro, your port setup directly affects image quality, field of view, and usability.

When you’re diving into the deep blue with your camera gear, the last thing you want to worry about is a flooded housing. That’s where O-rings come in. These small but mighty rubber seals are responsible for keeping water out of your housing and protecting your equipment. At UWCamerastore, we know how crucial it is to maintain your O-rings properly. So, we’ve put together this practical guide to help you keep your O-rings, housing, and camera in top shape for every dive.

Choosing a high-end underwater housing is only part of the process. Working with the right dealer makes a big difference in how your setup performs underwater. Especially with premium brands like Nauticam, expertise, stock availability, and service support are essential.

Several manufacturers produce underwater housings for popular camera models. Depending on the camera you use, there may be one housing available or several options from different manufacturers. Each brand develops its own housing design, materials and control layout for underwater photography and video.
