Extra Info - Large Body Camera Housings


In deep water diving, the optional BF1 lead weight is inserted into the housing, underneath the camera, it then becomes even easier to reach the maximum depth. Experienced photographers have confirmed, that the auto focus and flash both continue to function perfectly. As you descend, the air is pressed into the camera. The pressure inside the housing will remain the same as the surrounding water pressure. This is the reason why Ewa-Marine housings are so safe to use: implosions are impossible!

We have to start the dive with a suitable amount of air inside the housing. The foam pads supplied with the housing are part of this air "reservoir" and additional air should also be blown into the housing, via the valve at the rear, to ensure that the maximum potential volume is being utilized. This additional air reservoir will keep your camera free from increasing pressure compressing and activating the zoom or the shutter for instance.

This information pertains to our larger body SLR and DSLR camera housings. Specifically, for deeper diving, while using housings beginning with a U-A or U-B prefix only!
