This is a +10 diopter underwater wet lens designed for photographers who want to get significantly closer to small subjects. Its standard 67mm thread works with the SeaLife SportDiver system through the SL081 Lens Adapter and with other compatible underwater housings or ports that provide a 67mm threaded mount.
Best For
Divers photographing nudibranchs, shrimp, small reef life and other subjects that are difficult to fill the frame with using the camera or phone lens alone.
Main Advantage
+10 diopter power creates a much closer focusing setup, with SeaLife listing a typical underwater focus range of approximately 3–6 inches depending on the camera lens being used.
Compatibility
Standard male 67mm thread. SportDiver housings require the SeaLife SL081 Lens Adapter; other housings can use the lens when they provide a compatible 67mm threaded lens port.
Important to Know
A +10 lens gives you a relatively tight working range, so accurate positioning becomes important. When the SL081 adapter is mounted on a SportDiver, SeaLife states that the housing's color filters cannot be used on the lens port.

What You Need to Know
Compatibility
The lens uses a standard 67mm male thread.
For SeaLife SportDiver housings, install the SL081 52/67mm Lens Adapter and center the lens over the phone camera you intend to use. Compatibility and vignetting can vary with individual smartphone camera layouts.
What You'll Need
SportDiver users: the SL081 Lens Adapter is required and is sold separately.
If your existing underwater housing already has a compatible 67mm threaded lens port, an additional SportDiver adapter is not required.
Who Should Choose It?
Choose the +10 if your priority is strong close-up power for very small subjects and you are comfortable working within a tighter focus window. A lower-power macro lens can be easier when you want a little more working distance and flexibility.
SeaLife SportDiver 67mm +10 Macro Lens Overview
Getting close is one of the biggest challenges in underwater macro photography, particularly when shooting with a smartphone or compact camera that cannot fill the frame with very small subjects. The SeaLife +10 Macro Lens adds strong close-up correction in front of the camera so you can work much closer to the subject.
SeaLife specifies a typical underwater focusing range of approximately 3–6 inches, although the actual range depends on the phone or camera lens behind it. That tighter working window is exactly what makes the lens useful for small marine life, but it also means camera position matters much more than it does when shooting without a macro wet lens.
The lens uses a compact two-element optical design with broadband anti-reflective coatings and a Type III hard-anodized aluminum body. Because it is a true wet lens, it can be installed or removed during the dive when your setup allows access to the threaded mount.
Key Features
- +10 diopter correction provides strong close-up power for photographing much smaller subjects.
- Typical 3–6 inch underwater focus range lets you move close enough to reveal details that are difficult to capture with the camera lens alone.
- Standard M67 mounting makes the lens usable with the SportDiver SL081 adapter and other compatible 67mm underwater lens ports.
- 2-element / 2-group optics provide a dedicated optical solution rather than relying entirely on digital zoom.
- Broadband anti-reflective coatings help control unwanted reflections through the optical system.
- Compact 5.8 oz / 164 g construction keeps the lens relatively easy to travel with and handle underwater.
- 200 ft / 60 m depth rating covers typical recreational diving depths and beyond.

Designed for Practical Underwater Macro
Get Closer to Small Marine Life
The +10 diopter reduces the focusing distance so the camera can work much closer to subjects such as small nudibranchs, shrimp, blennies and reef details.
- Helps small subjects occupy more of the frame.
- Reduces reliance on heavy digital cropping.
- Well suited to detail-oriented macro photo and video.
M67 Wet-Lens Flexibility
Because the lens uses a standard 67mm threaded mount, it is not limited exclusively to one SportDiver housing. It can also be used with compatible underwater housings and ports with 67mm female threads.
- Attach or remove the lens underwater.
- Use the same lens across compatible M67 systems.
- SportDiver users can position the SL081 adapter over the phone camera being used.
Compact Optical Construction
The lens combines a two-element optical design with a hard-anodized aluminum body and anti-reflective coatings.
- Compact 0.8-inch-thick lens body.
- 5.8 oz / 164 g lens-only weight.
- Negative buoyancy helps keep the lens stable once mounted.
- 67mm +10 Macro Lens
- Protective lens pouch
- Microfiber cleaning cloth
