Ports and Lenses for Underwater Photography

At UWCameraStore, we provide a wide selection of ports, lenses, and accessories to elevate your underwater photography. From dome and flat ports to wet lenses, flip adapters, and lens holders, we have everything you need to customize and optimize your setup.

Types of Underwater Ports: Dome Ports and Flat Ports

• Dome Ports: Designed for wide-angle and fisheye lenses, dome ports reduce distortion and deliver stunning wide-angle shots. Choose between glass dome ports for superior optical quality or acrylic domes for lightweight durability. Dome covers are available to protect your port during storage and transport.
• Flat Ports: Ideal for macro photography, flat ports offer sharp focus for close-up subjects and are more compact for easy handling. Perfect for capturing intricate underwater details.

Choosing the right port system directly impacts your image quality underwater.

Flip Adapters: Versatile Lens Switching Underwater

Flip adapters are a must-have accessory for underwater photographers who want flexibility and convenience. These adapters allow you to quickly "flip" a lens or a filter, such as a macro or wide-angle wet lens or color-correction filter, in front of your camera and then flip it away when not in use.

Double Flip Adapters: For even more versatility, use double flip adapters to carry and switch between two wet lenses (or filters) during a single dive.

Conversion Lenses: Expand Your Creative Options

Our range of conversion lenses, also known as wet lenses, can be attached to the exterior of your underwater housing or a flip adapter for unparalleled versatility. These include:

• Macro lenses: Magnify tiny subjects like nudibranchs or shrimp for stunning close-up shots.
• Fisheye lenses: Capture dramatic wide-angle perspectives with vibrant colors and distortion-free edges.
• Wide-angle lenses: Perfect for photographing expansive seascapes or large marine animals.

Wet lenses can be easily attached or removed underwater, giving you the freedom to adapt your setup mid-dive. or you can easily flip them in front of your housing.

Lens Holders: Secure Your Lenses Underwater

When you're not using your wet lens, you'll need a safe place to store it. Lens holders are the perfect solution. These holders attach securely to your tray or the arms of your underwater housing, keeping your lenses within reach but out of the way.

Zoom and Focus Gears: Precision Control Underwater

For lenses with zoom or focus capabilities, we offer zoom and focus gears that attach directly to your lens. These gears allow you to control the lens from outside the housing, ensuring smooth adjustments underwater. Depending on your lens and port, extension rings may also be required to achieve the correct positioning.
