Said to be “In a league of its own”, the SeaLife DC500 is waterproof to a depth of 200 feet. Weighing in at just over a pound with dimensions of only 3.5” by 5.5”, the DC500 eliminates the bulk found in most traditional underwater cameras.

SeaLife’s Director of Sales confirms this observing that: “For many years our underwater cameras have been a dive market leader world wide. Now we’re finding that many customers are purchasing the new DC500 because it delivers fantastically sharp, color true images taken in the worst condition above the water line. They discover that their favorite dive camera is also the perfect camera to take into a swamp, up a mountain, in a boat or kayak, or anywhere normal digital cameras could be damaged”.

The SeaLife DC500 is easy to use, offering comfortable handling and simple one-button operation. It also offers “Shark Mode”, a fast action mode that virtually eliminates annoying shutter lag, allowing you to capture that quick moving shot.
