Introducing the new Paralenz action camera for divers
The world’s first action camera designed for scuba divers is here. Danish start-up Paralenz has produced a game changer for the underwater action camera market. Designed by divers, developed by divers and built by divers: introducing the new Paralenz Dive Camera – for divers.
The Paralenz Dive Camera was released on the 1st of June to the North American, European and Australian markets. The combined knowledge of 250 divers from around the world has been put into this unique new piece of dive-tech, and the result is a tough, durable product filled with ground-breaking new features.
“We saw the need for an action camera made specifically for diving and decided to ask a lot of divers what they wanted from it. The help, feedback and dedication we received from the dive community all over the world has been astounding, and we hope this product will make a difference to divers across the globe,” says Michael Trøst, CIO at Paralenz.
A depth-controlled color correction facility that eliminates the need for filters, screen overlays displaying current depth and temperature, and easy media sharing and dive logging via the Paralenz Dive App are just a few of the features of the new Paralenz Dive Camera, all combined in a lightweight package with a staggering depth rating of 200 metres – without the need for an extra housing – and capable of recording 4K video at 30fps for over two hours.
These features have already made the Paralenz Dive Camera a favourite of both experts and novices from all walks of diving, from the commercial technical diver to the occasional holiday underwater explorer.
“We are very honoured by the way the camera has been welcomed by the dive community so far. The combination of our experience in product development and the knowledge and input of 250 divers from 38 different countries has resulted in a truly unique camera,” says Martin Holmberg, CEO at Paralenz.
Along with the dive community, several international research institutions, universities, TV production companies, videographers and commercial diving organisations have already shown great interest in this very promising new camera. Paralenz received a Red Dot Award in 2017 for the design of their camera.

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
