For that extra peace of mind, Gates offers an optional moisture detector for nearly all housings. In the rare event that water enters your housing, the detector sets off a shrill warning heard underwater.

Power: 6V or 9V battery, included
Alarm level: ~100db in air

standard (dome) port



Gates Standard Ports (sometimes called a dome port) are optically corrected to provide a normalized view of the underwater world. That is, they compensate for distortions or magnifications inherent to the underwater realm so the camera view below water is almost exactly that above water. A standard port is made of optical polycarbonate and allows little or no zoom-through capability.


flat port (macro port)


Flat Port – these ports contain a single, flat, uncorrected element. The field of view becomes narrowed underwater, subject to the same refraction as a diver looking through a facemask. A Flat Port contains a single optical acrylic element that is forgiving to minor bumps and handling, and it is field replaceable.

set of diopters


A Flat Port allows full camera zoom capability, and diopters may be used to increase the magnification of a macro subject. +1, +2 and +4 are commonly used, and available from Gates as an accessory kit.

TWO acrylic red filter


UR Pro Color correction filters are available in ‘blue water’ and ‘green water’ versions. Blue water is standard on all Gates housings, green water optional. Both are available in optical polycarbonate and glass.

When ordering specify the housing model and serial number, green or blue water, and glass or optical polycarbonate.
