Underwater Wet Lenses & Filters
Optical Ocean Sales offers macro and wide angle lenses, as well as red filters for improved white balance in available light, to fit many manufacturers' housings. They generally are a "wet-mount" and can be added, or taken off, underwater. We also offer many different types of adapters to change the size or type of mount for housing ports.
Ultra-wide fisheye lenses are the preferred wide angle lens underwater due to their close focusing ability, sharp corners and wide field of view. Divers can usually get very close to their subjects with them, filling the frame, eliminating water which makes their photos lack sharpness, color and definition.
But there is a drawback to fisheye lenses; when shooting the straight lines, commonly of a pier or wreck, or models or other similar subjects, optical distortion is introduced.
