Underwater Housings for Popular Cameras

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.

In this guide, we highlight underwater housings for popular cameras and group them by camera type. Whether you use a compact camera, mirrorless camera or action camera, this overview helps you understand which housing options are available and where to start your search.

Underwater housings for compact cameras

Compact cameras remain a popular choice for underwater photography thanks to their small size, ease of use and travel-friendly design. For many compact camera models, dedicated underwater housings are available that offer reliable protection and access to the most important controls underwater.

Underwater housings for mirrorless cameras

Mirrorless cameras are widely used underwater because they offer an excellent balance between size, image quality and lens flexibility. Compared to compact cameras, mirrorless systems often have more housing options and more advanced accessories such as ports, gears and extension rings.

Some camera models are available in only one housing, while others can be combined with underwater housings from several brands. The blogs below help you see which options are available for specific popular models.

Underwater housings for action cameras

Action cameras are compact, lightweight and easy to use, which makes them popular for travel, snorkeling and video. Many action cameras are water resistant to a certain depth, but for deeper dives and better protection, a dedicated underwater housing is often the better choice.

As this section grows, we will continue adding guides for popular action cameras and their available housing options.

Some underwater housings are designed to work with multiple action cameras. These universal solutions are ideal if you want flexibility across different models:
