Designed for divers who want to push the close-up limits of the sealife sportdiver system, the 67mm +6 Macro Wet Lens delivers true macro capability in a compact, rugged form. With a +6 diopter correction and precision optical construction (4 elements in 3 groups), it’s built to resolve fine detail in small marine life while maintaining good contrast through a broadband anti-reflective coating on all air-to-glass surfaces.
Underwater, the lens offers a typical focus range of 3” to 9” (7.5–23 cm), with the ability to focus even closer—down to roughly 2” / 5 cm or less—depending on the phone or camera lens being used. It mounts via standard 67mm threads (rear male, front female), making it compatible with the SportDiver Lens Adapter (SL081) and other housings or cameras that use a 67mm port. The hard-anodized Type III aluminum body keeps weight manageable at 8.9 oz (251 g), though it is slightly negative underwater.
As a true wet lens, this macro optic is designed to be water-coupled—water must contact both the front and rear elements when submerged for proper performance. You can attach or remove it during the dive as subjects change, which is especially useful when shooting with a sealife phone case on mixed reef dives. It’s depth tested to 200 ft / 60 m, includes front and rear lens covers plus a padded mesh pouch, and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty. On land, the lens can be used, but focus range and sharpness will vary compared to underwater use with a sealife sport diver setup.

FAQ
Will this lens work with my phone model?
Compatibility depends on the SportDiver housing and adapter—please verify with Bluewater Photo.
Can I leave the lens on for the whole dive?
Yes, but you’ll be locked into close-focus shooting with limited wide capability.
Do I need external lights?
Strongly recommended. At +6, available light is usually not enough.
Does it affect autofocus accuracy?
In good light it performs well; in low light, focus hunting is common.
Is this suitable for video?
It can be used, but maintaining focus distance is more demanding—please verify expectations.
