Weefine WFH-TGS2 Underwater Housing for Olympus TG-7, TG-6 & TG-5
A compact aluminum TG-series housing with a 100m / 330ft depth rating, M52 wet-lens mount and fiber-optic strobe support for divers who want more durability and system flexibility than a basic plastic housing.
The Weefine WFH-TGS2 is an anodized aluminum underwater housing designed for the OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 and Olympus Tough TG-6 and TG-5 cameras. It is particularly attractive to divers who like the small size and excellent macro capability of the TG series but want a tougher 100-meter housing that can be expanded with wet lenses, external strobes and video lights.
In practical use, this is a strong fit for travel, macro, reef photography and more advanced TG-series systems where the standard camera waterproofing or an entry-level housing is no longer enough.
- Best for: TG-5, TG-6 and TG-7 shooters who want a compact but serious aluminum underwater system.
- Main advantage: 100m / 330ft depth rating with a durable hard-anodized aluminum body.
- Compatibility: Fits OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7, Olympus Tough TG-6 and Olympus Tough TG-5 cameras.
- Wet-lens ready: M52 × 0.75 front thread supports compatible underwater macro and wide-angle accessories.
- Lighting ready: Fiber-optic connections allow compatible external underwater strobes to be triggered using the camera's internal flash.
- Tradeoff: Unlike some more expensive aluminum housings, the WFH-TGS2 does not include an integrated vacuum leak-checking system.

Aluminum Construction for Frequent Diving
Aluminum matters most when a housing is being used regularly, packed for travel and exposed to repeated saltwater dives. The WFH-TGS2 uses a machined aluminum-alloy body with an anodized finish, giving the small TG system a more substantial feel than a typical molded housing.
- 100m / 330ft rated depth capability
- Rigid body resists flex under pressure
- Compact form factor remains practical for travel
- Metal housing helps transfer heat away from the camera
M52 Wet-Lens Mount for Macro and Wide Angle
One of the main reasons the TG-series cameras work so well underwater is their ability to move between very small subjects and general reef photography. The WFH-TGS2 keeps that flexibility by providing an M52 × 0.75 front thread for compatible underwater optics.
- Add compatible macro lenses for smaller subjects and greater magnification
- Add a compatible wide-angle wet lens for reefs, wrecks and larger marine life
- Change wet lenses during the dive when the accessory permits
- Use an appropriate M52-to-M67 adapter when a compatible M67 accessory requires it
Ready for External Strobes and Video Lights
Adding external lighting is usually the single biggest improvement you can make to TG-7 underwater image quality. The housing supports fiber-optic strobe triggering, while its mounting points allow the camera to grow into a tray-based photo or video system.
- Fiber-optic triggering for compatible underwater strobes
- Suitable for compact single-strobe macro systems
- Expandable to dual lights for wide-angle photography
- Compatible with tray, arm and clamp systems when configured correctly
Weefine WFH-TGS2 vs Other Olympus TG-7 Underwater Housings
There is no single best TG-7 housing for every diver. The important differences are depth rating, construction, camera compatibility, wet-lens interface and whether you want built-in leak or vacuum monitoring.
| Housing | Depth Rating | Construction | Camera Compatibility | Accessory / Lens System | Leak / Vacuum | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weefine WFH-TGS2 | 100m / 330ft | Anodized aluminum alloy | TG-5 / TG-6 / TG-7 | M52 × 0.75 wet-lens thread; fiber optic | No integrated vacuum system | Value-focused aluminum TG system with broad camera compatibility |
| OM SYSTEM / Olympus PT-059 | 45m / 147ft | OEM underwater case | TG-6 / TG-7 | OEM accessory ecosystem | No integrated vacuum system | Recreational divers prioritizing simplicity and lower cost |
| Marelux TG-6 / TG-7 Housing | 100m / 330ft | Anodized aluminum alloy | TG-6 / TG-7 | Series 5 system; fiber optic | Leak detector included; vacuum valve optional | Divers wanting leak monitoring and a premium expandable system |
| Isotta TG-7 Housing | 100m / 328ft | Aluminum | TG-7 | Expandable tray, fiber-optic and accessory system | Humidity sensor included | TG-7 shooters prioritizing premium ergonomics and monitoring |
Bluewater Photo advice: Choose the Weefine if you want a compact 100m aluminum housing with straightforward M52 expansion and compatibility across three TG generations. Consider Marelux or Isotta if integrated leak monitoring is a higher priority, or the PT-059 if price and simplicity matter more than aluminum construction and a 100m rating.
Recommended Accessories
- Fiber-optic cable: Required for triggering compatible external strobes optically.
- Underwater strobe: A compact Weefine strobe or another compatible optical strobe dramatically improves color and contrast.
- Tray and handle: Strongly recommended once external lighting is added.
- Arms and clamps: Let you position lighting away from the lens and control backscatter.
- Wet macro lens: Useful for nudibranchs, shrimp and supermacro subjects.
- Wide-angle wet lens: Useful for reefs, wrecks, divers and larger marine life.
- M52-to-M67 adapter: Needed for selected compatible 67mm wet-lens configurations.
- Spare O-ring and silicone grease: Useful additions to a travel spares kit.

Weefine WFH-TGS2 Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weefine WFH-TGS2 fit the OM SYSTEM TG-7?
Yes. The WFH-TGS2 is designed for the OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 and is also compatible with the Olympus Tough TG-6 and TG-5.
How deep can the Weefine TG-7 housing go?
Weefine rates the WFH-TGS2 to 100 meters / 330 feet. Always remain within your personal training, certification and dive-plan limits even when the housing is rated deeper.
Can I use a wet lens with the WFH-TGS2?
Yes. The housing has an M52 × 0.75 front thread for compatible underwater macro and wide-angle wet lenses. Some M67 lenses can be used with the correct M52-to-M67 adapter, but compatibility should be confirmed for the specific lens.
Can the TG-7 trigger an external strobe through this housing?
Yes. The WFH-TGS2 supports fiber-optic triggering for compatible underwater strobes using the camera's internal flash. The correct fiber-optic cable and strobe are purchased according to your lighting system.
Does the WFH-TGS2 have a vacuum leak detector?
No integrated vacuum leak-checking system is listed for the WFH-TGS2. Divers who consider vacuum verification essential may want to compare it with other premium TG-7 housings that support leak or vacuum monitoring.
Do I need a tray and handles?
You can keep the housing very compact on its own, but we recommend a tray once you add a strobe or video light. A tray improves handling and gives you proper mounting points for arms and clamps.
How should I maintain the housing after diving?
Rinse the closed housing thoroughly in fresh water after saltwater dives and operate the controls while rinsing. Before the next dive, inspect the O-ring and sealing surfaces carefully and use only the recommended amount of compatible silicone grease.
Is the Weefine housing better than the Olympus PT-059?
The Weefine is better suited to divers who want aluminum construction, a 100m depth rating and a more expandable system. The PT-059 can still make more sense when lower cost, lighter weight and straightforward recreational use are the priorities.
