Best Point-n-Shoot

Looking for a ready-to-go point-n-shoot system to jump in the ocean and take some great photos with much hassle? Look no further than the OM System Tough TG-7 and Olympus PT-059 Spare Battery Bundle!

Best  Full Frame Camera

It's the Canon EOS R5 and we all knew it. Hailed as the newer, bigger, better version of the Canon 5D Mk III it had big shoes to fill and it's filling them.

Ikelite recommends the following lenses:

• Canon EF 8-15mm Fisheye with EF to RF Adapter
• Canon RF 14-35mm F4 IS USM
• Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM

We recommend the Ikelite 200DL Housing or the Nauticam NA-R5. Check the port charts to get the correct ports.

Please note that housings are not kept in stock and are ordered to purchase. Delays of up to three weeks are likely for Ikelite.

Best Wide Angle Wet Lens for compact

This one's a tie.

The Nauticam WWL-C (Wide-angle Wet Lens Compact) is the little brother of the original WWL. We love it and our customers do too. Whether you are using a Nauticam housing, Ikelite or other - if you have an M67, M52 port - or if you have any Nauticam housing, you can use this lens. Just pick the right bayonet converter and Bob's your uncle! (The main ones are M67 and PT-059 for TG-6. If you've got a Nauticam housing check here.)

Our other winner is the INON UWL-95S M52, M67. We recommend you add the Dome Unit III as well - available in acrylic or glass, this is a more affordable option than Nauticam but with the same wide field of view! Because you can use the lens with and without the dome you get added versatility!

These are ready to ship - though the glass Dome Lens Unit III dome is a special order and will take a few weeks. Choose acrylic if you need it fast.

Best Wide angle lens for SLR/MIL? That's complicated, because it depends on your camera, lens and housing. For now, this applies to Nauticam housings only. Sorry Ikeliters. Nauticam housing users can find their lens on the appropriate port chart and find wet lens compatibility info. Or you can ask us, but expect this info when we're back in January.

Best Macro Wet Lenses

Depends how close up you want to get. Please note all the following lenses are M67 and other size port screws require a step-up or down adapter.

For super macro on smaller sensor cameras (ie not full-frame) we recommend:

• The one and only Nauticam Compact Macro Converter Lens (CMC-1)
• INON UCL-165 M67
• Nauticam Compact Macro Converter 2 (CMC-2) - not recommended unless you're experienced with macro, try CMC-1 first.

If you have a full-frame camera you're better off with:

• Nauticam Super Macro Converter SMC-1

Best LED Lights

OK this one is tricky because it depends on your specific needs, but we will recommend a few favs that've been flying out the door!

We love the Bigblue AL1300NP Camo LED - a great general needs dive light @ 1300 lumens, narrow beam.

Want more light? Try the X-Adventurer M1800 Narrow Beam.

Looking for something with more power and spread? Try the VTL2600P Dual Beam - wide and narrow.

Along the same lines but even more lumens: Bigblue VTL9000P Dual Beam. 9000 lumens!
