The staff at Bluewater just can't get enough of Isotta's anodized aluminum underwater housings. Holding the Isotta Canon R5C housing is like driving an intricate yet elegant luxury vehicle - complete with the opulent red finish. This housing is crafted from a light-weight anodized aluminum designed for the precise inner workings of the Canon R5C. You won't find a housing on the market with a tighter fit to the camera. If a camera could have a glove, it would be an Isotta.
The housing is compact and lightweight, with precise ergonomics and ruggedness for any dive conditions. The Isotta R5C Housing features a unique, yet very easy, way to open the housing with a single-hand locking system. In addition, the housing has a double o-ring seal design which ensures that your camera is safe and drastically decreases the chances of flooding.
Housing Features:

Single-Hand Locking System
The housings can be easily opened and closed using Isotta's innovative single-hand locking system. The single latch closing mechanism is a unique design and is effortless to operate while maintains a secure seal with its double steel pins design at the bottom of the housing.

Double O-Ring Seal
The Isotta Canon EOS R5 Underwater Housing utilizes the double o-ring seal design to ensure that the camera is always safe and dry inside the housing. It is always best to have a redundant o-ring on your seal to ensure that the housing is water-tight.

Comfortable Handles
The included adjustable dual handle of the housing provides comfort when shooting. The ergonomically designed handles makes operating the camera easy and comfortable even when wearing gloves.

Ergonomic Button & Lever Placement
The location of the function buttons and control levers have been well planned and everything is readily available at your fingertips, which makes operation of the camera smooth and straight-forward. In addition, the function buttons have been laser-engraved so that the button labels are easily visible in darker conditions.
The Canon R5C Mirrorless Camera
The Canon EOS R5 C is a powerful hybrid full-frame camera that combines the photographic strengths of the EOS R5 with the cinema-focused capabilities of Canon’s Cinema EOS line. With a dedicated physical switch for photo or video mode, it becomes two cameras in one: a 45 MP stills camera capable of professional-grade photography and a cinema system capable of shooting 8K RAW internally. For underwater shooters, this versatility is extremely valuable—you can capture high-resolution stills of marine life and switch instantly to cinematic video without changing bodies, conserving both dive time and equipment bulk.
Its technology also translates exceptionally well to the challenges of underwater environments. The internal cooling fan allows unlimited video recording, avoiding overheating during long dives. High-resolution stills allow comfortable cropping when subjects keep their distance, and advanced autofocus helps track unpredictable fish and marine animals. Combined with 4K slow motion, dual card slots for secure storage, and a fully articulating LCD that pairs well with underwater housings, the R5 C becomes a highly capable platform for underwater photography and video—provided it is used with a proper housing, lighting, and lenses.
