. Introduction

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

polycarbonate allows for visual inspection of camera condition and the O-ring seal. 10 BAR 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.
