The Ikelite compact digital housing is molded of corrosion free, virtually indestructible clear polycarbonate. An unobstructed view of the main o-ring provides assurance that the case is sealed properly. Its heavy duty walls allow it to operate safely to 200ft (60m).

All functions of the camera are accessible through the housing. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater.

For optimum lighting underwater an optional DS Substrobe is recommended. The DS Substrobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate backscatter.

The included tray with release handle provides stability and exceptional handling underwater. The release handle allows easy attachment and removal of Ikelite strobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Also available as #9523.32 Tray with Dual Release Handles for increased balance or the addition of a second Substrobe.

Removable external color filters #6441.41 for tropical blue water and #6441.81 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to approximately 80ft (24m). For use without a flash. Filters sold separately.

The Ikelite W-20 and other 67mm threaded wide-angle conversion lenses from Inon or Epoque attach directly to the front of the housing's port.
