Wide Angle Wet Lenses for Underwater Photography

Wide angle wet lenses are a flexible way to expand your field of view underwater—ideal for capturing reefs, wrecks, and large marine life even when you're using a compact or mirrorless camera system in a flat port. They mount directly onto your housing port and can be removed underwater, giving you the freedom to switch between wide angle and macro on the same dive.


Why Choose a Wide Angle Underwater Lens?

  • Instant versatility: Add or remove the lens during a dive to adapt to the scene.

  • More coverage: Great for fitting larger subjects or scenes into frame, especially in tight spaces.

  • Compact setup: Wet lenses offer a lightweight alternative to large dome ports for travelers or those using smaller rigs.

These lenses are popular with both beginners and experienced divers who want to keep their kit small without sacrificing creative flexibility. Most wide angle lenses are compatible with standard 52mm or 67mm threaded ports, but bayonet systems like those from Nauticam and AOI make it even faster to switch lenses underwater.


A Few Good Options

  • AOI UWL-09 Pro – A high-quality lens with excellent corner sharpness, especially when paired with micro four thirds housings from OM SYSTEM (formerly Olympus).

  • Nauticam WWL-1B – Designed for serious image quality, this lens pairs well with mirrorless setups in Nauticam housings and supports fast switching using their bayonet mount system.

  • Weefine WFL02 – A solid mid-range option that balances optical quality and price, suitable for compact camera systems with lens port accessories.


Compatibility and Use Cases

Wide angle wet lenses work best with flat ports and short zoom lenses or fixed lenses like the Olympus 14–42mm EZ or Sony 16–50mm. Check your housing’s thread size and port type before purchase, or contact us for advice.

If you're also planning macro dives, pair your setup with a macro lenses to stay flexible on the same trip.
