When a scuba diving rig such as an Ikleite is submerged 5 or more feet, the water pressure helps hold the port and rig together.

Shooting on the surface, like surf photography for example, requires a completely different type of housing. With crashing waves, shallow surf and the likelihood the photographer is going to get tossed around, the housing needs to be very durable and tuff. While you will not have all the controls of a scuba rig, SPL housings are customizable and are made of welded metal. They are as tough as anything else you can find on the market. Not really made for deep water shooting, they shine on the surface in aggressive conditions.

While the your SPL Housing will come with a single port, additional ports are available for different size lenses.
