Seven of the best underwater cameras for your next snorkelling or scuba dive trip
From a special case you can put on your phone to a waterproof ‘tough’ camera, there’s now plenty of ways to take pictures of the ocean’s depths. Here are our favourites
Whether you’re snorkelling or diving, the ocean’s colourful reef fish, sea turtles and sharks make it an unforgettable experience – and one you’ll want to capture in photos and video. Can you take your phone underwater? You can if you get a special case, though dedicated housings for DSLR cameras and a plethora of waterproof ‘tough’ cameras may be just as appealing. Either way, it’s getting easier to make a splash with underwater photography.
GoPro HERO6
If you already have a GoPro, underwater photography is yours to explore thanks to its waterproof design.

Like the HERO5, the new HERO6 (US$510) is waterproof without a housing down to 10m, but it has other features that could be handy in the ocean. Hands-free controls means you can simply utter “GoPro, start recording” before heading beneath the waves. It also films video in 4K. Available at yohohongkong.com
