Underwater Strobe | Flash

An underwater housing usually allows the use of the camera's built in flash which is fine for subjects close to the lens but for better results and to help reduce backscatter an external flash or strobe is recommended. The can either fit using the housings external hot shoe or on a bracket and are fired either using a slave sensor on the flash or via a dedicated TTL cable.

Olympus Underwater Flash

Rather than producing slave units, Olympus manufacture underwater housings for their TTL hotshoe flashguns. The advantage of this is that once connected to the camera via the connection cable the flash will be fully synchronised. Also electronic triggering allows the cameras internal flash to be disabled which conserves power and eliminates possible light leakage.
