Installing a DC Series Dome Port on your Compact Underwater Housing
Our DC series ports are 'dry domes' which allow you to shoot split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) and take advantage of the full wide angle coverage of your lens underwater. John walks you through how to remove your housing's original flat port using a strap wrench and install the DC series dome in its place.
We always recommend diving without a camera installed the first time after changing the port on your compact digital housing.
We make several lengths of DC series domes to complement a variety of Ikelite underwater housings. Check compatibility here:
