OM System TG-7 (formally Olympus)
The TG-7 is one of the best compact cameras ever made for underwater photography. The camera itself is waterproof down to 15m which is amazing protection in case you ever have a problem with an underwater housing leaking. It contains really useful underwater modes to help with the colour and the macro mode (they call it microscope mode) is incredible.
Seafrogs TG-7 Housing
The Seafrogs housing for the TG-7 feels great in your hands and allows you to access every feature of the camera in a logical way. The front port has a 52mm filter thread for attaching external “wet” lenses and it also includes a 52-67mm stepping ring. On the side of the housing are dual fibre optic ports for attaching the standard Sea and Sea type fibre optic cables. The housing contains a leak sensor and includes a slot for an optional vacuum valve system to be added(though for a waterproof camera this seems a little overkill). It is depth rated to 60m.
Seafrogs SL-108 ring light
This ring light is great for doing macro photography or videography. No more shadows when you are up really close. It contains constantly on very bright LEDs but also has a flash mode where it only activates when triggered from a fibre optic cable. It also features a red light and blue light. It attaches to a 67mm thread. If your housing has a 52mm thread you can use a stepping ring.
