TG5 Housing

Dear all,

I have an Olympus TG5 and I started to do some scuba dive on depth down to 30m.

I need to buy the externa housing since the TG5 doesnt do 30m directly.

My question is, if anyone knows if the TG5 housing is the same of TG6?

I am asking because it seems that the TG5 was phased out.

Thank you in advance

Luís

Re: TG5 Housing

Backscatter lists the Olympus PT-059 as compatible with both TG-5 and TG-6. Ikelite 6233.06 is also listed as compatible with both models.

Thank you for your answer!

And what about the Seafrogs solution, does anyone tried? How is it compared to the original Olympus solution?

One main difference is that the Olympus is rated to 45m depth and the Seafrogs 60m depth, but how good do they perform?

Thank you

LM
