Subal release underwater housing for the Olympus EM1 Mark II

The housing for the Olympus EM1 Mark II froom Subal provides access to all functions of the camera. The ergonomic Subal design and arrangement of all important elements of the housing allows easy operation of the camera without letting go of the handle. The camera is mounted on a special sled to mount the camera with precision in the housing – this allows for a faster and more secure mounting.
A 4 mm O-ring and the new Subal locking system prevents accidental crushing of the O-ring, and ensures maximum safety. Threaded holes at the base allow attaching Rails, etc. Pilot lights can be attached or mounted to the top shoe. The monitor window provides a glare-free and high-contrast insight on the camera monitor.
Material selection, processing, surface protection and finish conform to the usual standard level of quality that is expected from all Subal products. Subal offers 3 different viewfinders for this housing model: the standard viewfinder slimmed reduces the viewfinder image so that it can fully be overlooked, even whilst wearing a diving mask.
Technical data
Seawater resistant aluminum alloy worked from the block. Hard Coating and corrosion treatment is applied to the surface of the housing. In addition, 3 layers of powder coated paint is applied to give the housing the Subal color and unique finish. All parts are made of hard-anodized light alloy, acid-resistant stainless steel and high quality plastics to endure all working conditions. Features the Subal locking system.

Jeff chats to… Jill Heinerth – underwater explorer, author and presenter (Watch Video)

In this exclusive Zoom interview, Jeff Goodman, Scubaverse Editor-at-Large, chats to Jill Heinerth.
Jill is one of the world’s premier underwater explorers, and the first person to dive inside iceberg caves. According to filmmaker James Cameron, “More people have walked on the moon than have been to some of the places Jill Heinerth has gone right here on earth.”
An acclaimed polar explorer, cave diver, author, speaker, filmmaker, and climate advocate, Jill is the first Explorer-in-Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. She is the inaugural recipient of the Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration and Canada’s Polar Medal.
Jill leads expeditions into extreme environments to advance scientific and geographic knowledge. Her projects have been broadcast on the CBC, BBC, PBS, Discovery Channel, and television networks worldwide. Jill was announced as the recipient of the William Beebe Award from the Explorer’s Club and was inducted into the International Scuba Divers Hall of Fame in fall 2020.
Her bestselling book INTO THE PLANET – My Life as a Cave Diver has drawn acclaim from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and O Magazine. Heinerth details her journey into the extreme world of underwater cave exploration, where she has had to overcome fear in order to go where no one has gone before.
