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.
At UWCameraStore.com, we always emphasize that having the right accessories can make or break an underwater photography experience. The Ikelite 200DL Deluxe underwater housing stands out because it does not just protect your camera. It comes fully equipped with all the accessories recommended for serious underwater shooting, making it a complete package straight out of the box.
Choosing an underwater housing usually starts with the camera or smartphone you already own. Most housings are designed for a specific device, so compatibility determines which options are available. This guide explains how to select an underwater housing for a camera or smartphone you already own.
Even years after its release, the Canon G7X Mark III remains a popular compact cameras for both underwater and above-water photography. Its combination of image quality, compact size and manual control makes it a reliable choice for many underwater photographers.
Buying an underwater housing is a serious investment. Whether you shoot with a compact camera, system camera, or action cam, choosing the right dealer is just as important as choosing the housing itself. A reliable dealer helps you build a complete, compatible setup and gives you the support you need before, during, and after your purchase.
If you’re looking for a reliable underwater strobe that delivers solid power, fast recycle times, and excellent coverage, the Ikelite DS165 is definitely worth checking out. This strobe replaces the older DS160 and brings some impressive upgrades, taking the best features from Ikelite’s higher-end models and putting them in a versatile, mid-range option.
Action cameras evolve fast. One year you are shooting with a GoPro. The next year DJI releases something that catches your attention. Then Insta360 improves dynamic range or low light performance and suddenly you are considering a switch again.
For many divers, upgrading or even changing brands is part of the process.
That creates a practical problem underwater. Most housings are designed around one specific camera model. The moment you upgrade, your housing becomes useless.
That is exactly where the AOI UH-ACT Underwater Housing separates itself from most other options on the market.
''Which one should I get… the Divevolk or the SeaLife SportDiver?” The short answer does not exist. Both housings are good, reliable, and popular, but underwater they feel completely different. The difference is not in quality, but in how you work as a diver. This is the story from a diver’s perspective, showing how it feels in practice.
Normally, you have no signal underwater, so you only share footage and stories after the dive. With the DiveVolk SeaLink, your smartphone can stay connected while you’re below the surface. You place your phone in a dedicated DiveVolk underwater housing, connected by a cable (up to about 30 m / 98 ft) to a floating surface communication unit with a SIM card. As long as there is mobile coverage above water, live streaming and real-time data use become possible during the dive.
The Divevolk smartphone housing makes it possible to get serious about underwater photography with relatively simple means. Smartphones now have powerful cameras and software, but different optical laws apply underwater than above water.
