GoPro Underwater Cameras, Housings, Lights & Accessories
GoPro has revolutionized how we document the ocean, becoming the go-to choice for scuba diving, snorkeling, and action sports. While the latest Hero 13 offers incredible 5.3K resolution and enhanced stabilization, capturing professional-grade results beneath the surface requires more than just pressing record. Not only has the technology advanced incredibly in these action cameras, but they are perfect for travel, as a back-up camera, or even as a drop camera which shooting with your main underwater camera.
At Bluewater Photo, our team of active divers and photographers has tested every iteration of the GoPro system in diverse marine environments. The latest version was taken to Fiji by Nirupam, where he put it through some rigorous testing in the shark infested waters of Beqa Lagoon. No only do we test the camera, but we also take some gopro accessories along to test out what works best under various conditons. Accessories include trays, wide angle lenses and lights, we want to give you expert advice on what is the best set-up for you. To help you get the most out of your rig, we’ve organized our expertise into specialized categories:
- GoPro Housings: While the Hero 13 is waterproof to 33ft, serious divers need a dedicated housing for depth protection and accessory mounting. We review everything from standard cases to professional-grade aluminum housings.
- Underwater GoPro Filters: Learn how to use red and magenta filters to strip away the "blue-green wash" and restore the natural, vibrant colors of the reef.
- Video Lights & Lighting Kits: For deep dives or night scenes, external lighting is essential. We recommend high-CRI lights to bring out the true reds and yellows of marine life.
- Lens Adapters & Macro Lenses: Overcome the GoPro’s wide-angle limitations with specialized macro lenses that allow you to focus on the smallest nudibranchs and critters.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced shooter using G-Log and HLG profiles, our guides are designed to help you build a rig that is stable, color-accurate, and ready for the deep.

Which is the Best GoPro Dive Housing
The GoPro is waterproof down to 33ft, but if one wants to go deeper, you will require a GoPro waterproof case. Waterproof housings are the most essential piece of the Gopro underwater equipment. These cases protect the gopro underwater camera from water damage and allow you to take it down to depths of up to 100 feet (30 meters). There are a variety of waterproof housings available for GoPro cameras, each with its own features and benefits. For example, the GoPro HERO13 Black Dive Housing is depth-rated to 100 feet (30 meters) and features a built-in LED light for illuminating your subjects.
Diving lights can help you illuminate your underwater subjects and improve the quality of your photos and videos. There are a variety of gopro underwater lights available for GoPro cameras, ranging from small, handheld lights to large, powerful lights that can be mounted on the camera housing. For example, our most popular gopro underwater light is the Bluewater 3000 Dive light, or an alternative is the Sealife Sea Dragon 3000F Underwater LED Video Light is a powerful light that can produce up to 3,000 lumens of light, making it ideal for capturing stunning underwater photos and videos.
Strobes can be used to add light and color to your underwater photos and videos. Strobes are typically mounted on the camera housing and fire automatically when the camera shutter is released.
Gopro Filters can be used to correct the color of your underwater photos and videos. There are a variety of filters available for GoPro cameras, each designed to correct a specific color cast. For example, the GoPro Red Filter is designed to correct the blue cast that is common in underwater photos and videos.
Mounts allow you to attach the camera to your body, your gear, or underwater structures. There are a variety of mounts available for GoPro cameras, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, the GoPro the Arm is a versatile mount that can be used to attach your camera to a variety of objects, including underwater cages, boats, and other equipment.
With the right equipment and a little practice, you can take stunning underwater photos and videos with your GoPro camera. So get out there and explore the underwater world!
