Sony Underwater Dive Camera

Purchased this for the specific need to dive in dark water that contains alligators. Was able to perform the necessary underwater inspection, without having to get wet or have an alligator watcher. The lights and camera, along with the stability mode made the inspection better than when I was diving the site myself. Haven't had to use the grabber claw yet, but did hook it up and confirm its functionality. If you need to know what's happening underwater this is a great entry into the world of ROV's. Easy to learn, easy to use. and safer than swimming with dinosaurs.

I purchased 3 of these strobes to replace my YS-D1's last summer after both strobes failed on the same dive. So far the D2's have been a good replacement with a few upgrades. I have been a long time user of manual strobe exposures underwater but the TTL setting has been very good both with macro and wide angle lenses using the D2's and fiberoptic flash cords. The D2's have a few new features that are helpful. I have been nervous to use the 2450 mh 1.2 v rechargeable batteries after both of my D1's failed underwater on the same dive due to the flash elements shattering when they fired. So far I have had no problems with the newer D2's using 1900 mh 1.2 v. Overall, I think the Sea & Sea strobes are better than my previous Ikelite strobes but they use more battery power and require frequent charging if you take 100+ pictures per dive.

I have two of these now because I found that I was worrying too much about bringing an SLR out on a dive boat for jobs. I had a black Pelican 1520 for my underwater cameras and I was pleased to get this one in a distinguishable color for the dry camera. Very sturdy protection and the pick and pluck foam allows you to custom fit it to anything that you you need to protect. I have a large SLR, 2 lenses, a speedlight and various other stuff in this one and there's room for more in case I lose my mind and get that macro lens I've been coveting...

I originally bought this lens for underwater photography. I have had a chance to dive with it yet but it comes highly recommended. Last couple of days I have been messing with it on land and its a very sweet fisheye.

I got this lens to shoot underwater video and stills with my Sony A6500 in an Ikelite DL/M200 housing. Sunday morning was my first dive with it. To say that it didn't disappoint would be a gross understatement! This lens is razor sharp, with very fast autofocus. I found that with other lenses on this camera, I had to set the autofocus speed to responsive, which is much faster than Standard. With this lens, I have to dial that back down, as the AF responds a bit too quickly now for my taste! Even with the A6500's 1.5x crop factor, giving this lens the equivalent angle of view as that of a 24mm lens on a full frame camera, this lens's ability to focus at very close distances makes it an excellent lens for underwater work for all but the smallest of subjects. The image I've attached is a saved frame from 4K video I shot Sunday morning. The subject is a curious Sheepshead that came in for a very close up look at my camera! I have several Sigma lenses for Canon: the 24-105 Art and 150-600 Sports, and this very value-priced 16mm prime for the Sony E mount continues that fine tradition of quality glass. Good job, Sigma!

I bought this housing because I wanted to use a good compact Sony camera to capture underwater wildlife. I was frustrated with the GoPro and unimpressive still photos. The housing allows use of all buttons on the camera and functions that allow quality pictures underwater. I have included pictures from my first time use in Kona Hawaii. Make your own conclusions from my experience. I highly recommend this housing.

I took shots at dark. The camera saw what I could not. It is going to be quite useful in my underwater adventures.
