UNDERWATER HOUSING ACCESSORIES

Leak Detection, Vacuum Valves & O-Ring Accessories for Underwater Housings

Even the most robust underwater housing relies on small, often overlooked accessories to stay watertight. This category includes essential leak prevention and sealing tools—like vacuum valves, electronic leak detectors, O-rings, and mounting fittings—for housings from Nauticam, Ikelite, Sea&Sea, and many others. These components help identify problems early and give you some peace of mind before dives.

A vacuum valve allows you to create negative pressure inside the housing, simulating underwater pressure. When used with a manual pump or electronic sensor, you can spot seal failures before you enter the water. Some divers make this part of their pre-dive checklist—especially if they're shooting in cold water, changing ports often, or flying frequently.

O-rings and spare seals are the physical barriers keeping your electronics dry. Having extra sets on hand is practical, especially for long trips or multi-day shoots. This section also includes small but useful items like mounting adapters and ball joints that help integrate leak detection into your existing rig without sacrificing a strobe or monitor arm.

What You’ll Find in This Category

• Vacuum Valves & Leak Detectors: Add a layer of protection by checking for leaks before every dive.
• O-Rings & Seals: Replacement parts for maintaining a proper seal around housing backs, ports, and caps.
• Mounting Fittings: Armballs, Ball mounts, adaptors, to expand or improve your rig’s layout.

Many of these accessories are cross-compatible, but it’s always a good idea to check fit with your specific setup. You might also want to browse: underwater housings, strobe systems, or arms and trays to round out your rig.
