OM SYSTEM PT-059 underwater case 45 m
Product description
This OM SYSTEM underwater housing lets you take an Olympus Tough TG-6 or OM SYSTEM TG-7 beneath the surface while keeping full control of the camera, making it suitable for diving, snorkelling and marine photography. It is rated to 45 metres according to the manufacturer and includes multi-coated glass to reduce internal reflections, which helps maintain image clarity when shooting underwater.
Key Points
The housing preserves access to all camera functions so you can change settings, use zoom and trigger the shutter as you would on land. Controls are designed for intuitive operation with gloved hands and the casing feels robust in handling. Note that the depth rating reaches 45 metres as specified by the manufacturer, which covers most recreational and many technical diving situations.

Usage Recommendations
When using the housing for extended dives, rinse it with fresh water after exposure to salt water to help prevent corrosion and salt build-up. Check the O-ring and lubricate lightly according to the camera maker’s guidance before each use to maintain an effective watertight seal. For photography in low light or with strong backscatter, position the camera and angle the port to reduce direct reflection from particulates in the water.
Practical Tips
Mount external lights or strobes where available to improve colour and contrast at depth because ambient light drops quickly beneath the surface. Be aware that handling settings with thick gloves may require slower, deliberate movements to avoid accidental changes. Consider testing the housing in shallow water first to confirm seals and camera control behaviour before deeper dives.
