Underwater Camera System:
Ikelite Camera Housing & Nikon Coolpix L32.
Ikelite Underwater Housing UC 55497
A full featured and durable waterproof housing for Nikon COOLPIX L30 and L32 cameras. Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water.
Features
Dive into underwater photography with this compact and easy to use system. Durable clear polycarbonate construction provides a unique view of the camera to ensure correct waterproof installation and confidence underwater. The camera installs with drop-in loading for quick and easy set up. Simply close the side latch and see the o-ring form a solid black, watertight seal. Large, ergonomic controls provide access to all important camera functions.
Flash
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results a color correcting filter or external lighting is recommended. External lighting is more powerful than the camera's flash and can be placed in a position to virtually eliminate the backscatter - or "snow" - from your underwater images.
Two fiber optic ports are provided for the attachment of Ikelite, SEA&SEA, Olympus and select INON or Nauticam fiber optic cords.
Ikelite products are designed, built and tested in the USA. All locally sourced, top-grade materials are used. Housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity.
Ikelite backs their products with over 50 years of experience and service within the dive industry.
Wide Angle, Macro + Filters
3-inch diameter ports feature a 67mm thread on the front for the easy attachment of external wide angle and macro wet lenses. Wide angle lenses make objects appear smaller, so that you can fit more into your frame underwater. Macro close-up lenses make small objects appear larger, so that tiny creatures will fill your frame.
The WD-3 Wide Angle Dome provides mid-range angle of view with no vignetting (dark shadows in the corners of the image).
The W-30 Wide Angle Lens, INON UWL-H100, and other 67mm threaded wide angle lenses, provide a wider maximum angle of view. Because these are separated from the camera's lens by glass, air, and water, some vignetting and edge distortion will be present. These effects can be reduced or eliminated by using a smaller aperture, zooming in slightly, and/or cropping in post-production.
External macro lenses with 67mm threads from INON, Epoque, and other manufacturers, can be attached directly to the front of the housing's port.
3-inch diameter color filters press directly onto these ports. Most wide angle lenses require a 3.6-inch diameter color filter. Refer to the product page for information on color filter compatibility.

System works beautifully while diving and snorkeling. No leaks, light use marks (small scratches). I have been using it as my dive rig for the last 50+ dives. My husband bought me a new system, so I want someone else to before from being about to document their underwater adventures!
Sorry no returns- please ask any and all questions before purchasing.
