P3 Update, an online and print magazine “unifying global Preproduction, Production and Postproduction”, has featured the use of cameras underwater in an article called Water Wonders.

Among the manufacturers that get mentioned in the article are: Aquavision, Equinox, Ocean Tecnology Systems, Gates and ULCS. The article concludes:

“In the years since, as cameras have democratized the acquisition of media, the providers of underwater housings and ancillary equipment have kept up with the pace. It still requires an expertise that not everyone possesses, but the bar has been lowered-and that’s good news for all of the viewers enthralled by glimpses of towering waves or the briny deep.”
