This video also applies to Olympus TG-6 Cameras

The Olympus TG-7 camera is easily the most popular snorkeling camera choice by our snorkeling guests. It’s compact, easy to use, waterproof right out of the box, and packs a real punch where image quality is concerned. Guests are always impressed by the beautiful natural colors this camera showcases their underwater snaps in. 

While the Olympus TG-7 is very easy to use, it does require a bit of setup and maintenance to achieve the colors you’re after, while also maintaining the camera’s overall health. 

This video will walk you through everything you’ll need to know about getting this camera and housing up, maintaining the camera and housing, and what settings we recommend for the best results for shooting underwater!

Hey Y'all. I'm Snorkel Venture's Destination Manager and Video and Photo Pro. Prior to joining Snorkel Venture in 2018, I lived and worked all over the world, working as an underwater cameraman, with five of those years spent living/working on a liveaboard in Indonesia. I live and breathe underwater film and photo, and snorkeling is my most preferred method of documenting the beauty of the underwater world! I've been fortunate to have been able to have my work displayed on networks such as Netflix, NatGeo, and the Discovery Channel, while my photos have been on hosted in a number of exhibitions around the world, including the UN Building in New York, the Gasometer in Germany, and the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, along with a handful of magazines.
