10BAR Underwater Housings are small, light and rugged enough to be used on every dive. Use of a 

clear  polycarbonate  allows  for  visual  inspection  of  camera  condition  and  the  O-ring  seal.  10BAR 
Housings  are  designed  for  the  ever  -increasing  variety  of  models  of  digital  still  and  video  cameras. 
Advanced computer aided design and CNC manufacturing technologies ensure precise dimensions. Each 
housing  body  is  first  injection  molded,  and  then  machined  to  configure  to  individual  camera  model.  A 
range of lens ports and controls are fitted, to tailor the housing to your camera model.
