Nauticam has appointed UWCameraStore / Onderwaterhuis.NL as official European Pro-Service Center. We are proud to have achieved this certification! From now on we will not only perform service on Nauticam products for our own customers but also for other Nauticam dealers in Europe.

The new G7X Mark III has been introduced.  We have the Ikelite housing in stock already. We expect the Nauticam housing within a couple of days now. The Fantasea underwater housing will be available in november. 

Mark III photo quality improved again

The Mark III has a new improved sensor: photoquality has improved. The number of pixels has remained the same. The camera now offers 4K video. The camera has become faster compared to the Mark II version, so you can take pictures in quick succession. The G7X Mark III is a perfect underwater camera for divers who want to be able to play with settings such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO values. Creative photos with a sharp subject and a blurred background, for example. Or a completely black background. The camera can be adjusted completely manually, but you can of course always simply shoot pictures at the automatic setting.

Underwater housings Ikelite and Nauticam already available

The Canon G7 X Mark III does not fit in the Mark II underwater

I'm almost ready for it ... at least I think so. Tomorrow I am leaving to Tenerife with my buddy Ron Offermans to participate in the Underwater Photography World Championship. We first planned a few practice days to explore the conditions in Tenerife. The World Championship starts on Tuesday, September 17. Exciting again!

CMAS Underwater Photo and Video World Championship

Teams from 21 countries will participate in the World Championship this year. Three teams from the Netherlands will travel to Tenerife. René Weterings and I (Marco Heesbeen) participate in the photography championship with our own buddy. Ronald Faber will compete with his buddy for the most beautiful underwater video in the videocompetition. The participants in the Underwater Photography World Championship take photos in 5 different categories:

• Fish
• Close up
• Theme: this year Cartilaginous fish
• Wide angle with diver / model
• Wide angle

I have studied the strict rules. Violation of a small rule can already result in a disqualification.

Mit einem externen Blitz können Sie bessere Unterwasserfotos machen. Schönere Farben, mehr Kontrast, weniger Schwebstoffe. Sie haben wahrscheinlich bereits eine Unterwasserkamera und möchten ein Blitzgerät dazu haben. Aber ...für welchen Blitz soll man sich nun entscheiden?
Marco Heesbeen von Onderwaterhuis.NL hilft Ihnen dabei, den richtigen Blitz zu finden

Elektrische oder optische Steuerung?

Blitzgeräte können grob in Blitzgeräte mit elektrischem Anschluss und optisch gesteuerte Blitzgeräte unterteilt werden. Und um es einfach zu machen: Manche können beides. Um den Blitz elektrisch steuern zu können, benötigen Sie ein Unterwassergehäuse mit einem Blitzanschluss, damit ein elektronisches Signal von der Kamera zum Blitz gesendet werden kann. Falls Ihr Unterwassergehäuse diese Option nicht bietet, fällt die Wahl automatisch auf ein Blitzgerät, das optisch gesteuert wird. Das Blitzlicht der Kamera wird mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit über ein optisches Kabel (Glasfaserkabel) zum Blitzgerät gesendet,

The Olympus Tough TG-870 with the original Olympus underwater housing PT-057 is a perfect beginner's camera. But also for the advanced photographer: the camera will certainly not disappoint you if you just want to get into the water with a small affordable set! We are very happy that we have been able to add this underwater camera to our assortment in this price range. Great value for money!

The Olympus Tough TG-870 is called 'tough' for a reason: it is water resistant up to 15 meters, shock and fallproof, resistant to dust and low temperatures. With the underwater housing the maximum depth is 45 meters. The camera offers special automatic underwater settings for tropical water and thanks to its 21mm wide angle you don't have to miss a thing! Due to its 180 ° rotatable LCD screen, the camera is also suitable as an (underwater) vlog camera. Do you prefer
