Description
Now you can take your digital photography to even greater depths with Olympus Digital Underwater Housings. This stylish and durable transparent polycarbonate housing is for anyone looking to pursue underwater digital photography when diving, snorkeling or surfing - and it is also ideal for use during activities that call for ultimate protection from the elements such as skiing, fishing, sailing, or even in certain industrial situations. A clear and durable polycarbonate case provides an attractive shield for your digital camera as you explore your underwater surroundings at depths up to 131 feet. A tight O-ring main seal with safety lock, along with stainless steel and nickel-plated brass hardware, help to ensure protection from corrosion for years to come. A fluorite (FL) glass window gives your digital camera's powerful Olympus lens the protection and clear gateway it needs to deliver crisp detail and vibrant color. An integrated flash diffuser panel lets you utilize your camera's internal flash for lighting purposes. And an easy-to-see LCD panel lets you admire the beauty that lies beneath the surface instantly, giving you the freedom to enjoy your pictures and even edit them if you like. It would be useless to take pictures underwater if you didn't have the ability to capture the results you wanted. That's why the Olympus Digital Underwater Housings give you full control over your camera. Each one features a large, responsive shutter button, precision zoom lever, and durable controls to lend you access to everything your Olympus digital camera has to offer. They're even great on land for skiing, etc. So protect your images. Protect your camera. And do so knowing you're still capturing the most realistic digital images yet. Nothing's impossible.

Olympus underwater camera housing
[ Posted: 2006-11-13 ]
This product was fun to use with my Olympus camera. Fish came right up to the lense in shallow water and the underwater environments when snorkeling even in Minnesota freshwater lakes were astounding.
Thanks

The camera case worked really well, I went on a scuba trip to Mexico and it took wonderful underwater pictures. Easy to use and didn't leak a drop.
thanks

Worked Perfectly!!

Item worked great for a recent snorkeling trip to Hawaii. All the controls were easy to access and the pictures turned out great. The only recommendation would be to bring along an extra battery as you have to leave the camera open to fit into the case(at least on the Stylus 410 that is).
Terrific product

I was just amazed at how easy this housing was to use, and how well it performed. Last month, my friend and I went to Oahu to dive, and since it was his first time doing scuba, we wanted to capture it all on film. I bought the Olympus 300 and this housing on Amazon, and it worked just great. I did six dives in all, 4 day, 2 night. The longest was 1 hour 10 minutes, and the deepest 90 feet. The dives were done in pairs between battery charges, and the battery lasted long enough for both dives without needing to open the case. Some tips: Make sure to set up the camera so that it will always flash to help get the colors right (default mode is for the camera to determine if flash is needed, I found that was not always the best choice -- and the camera forgets this setting between power on/off cycles so you need to do this before getting in the water). Between each pair of dives, a simple soaking of the housing (with the camera inside) followed by a recharge of the battery should be all that is needed to keep the camera housing clean. A single packet of silica was enough to keep the housing from fogging, and I applied a layer of silicon (provided with the housing) when taking the camera out each night, though I think it would have been ok to wait until after the trip.
Great, durable housing

I've owned my stylus and it's housing for over a year. It has been on over 80 dives many to 90' plus and it's always been a real trooper. I don't change out the silica packs terribly often and have had the lense fog only a couple of times. Love it. Wish I loved the camera just as much.
