43% wider field of view and razor-sharp edge clarity for your smartphone or compact camera. The SeaLife 52mm Wide Angle Dome Lens (SL054) delivers 0.7x optical conversion, expanding your shooting angle by 43% and allowing you to get up to 3x closer to underwater subjects. Engineered with a 4-element / 4-group multi-coated glass optical array inside a hard-coated polycarbonate dome, it eliminates barrel distortion down to 200 feet (60 metres).
Key Features & Highlights
-
43% Wider Field of View (0.7x Conversion): Converts a standard 26mm lens into an 18.2mm film-equivalent wide angle, capturing expansive coral reefs, wrecks, and pelagic marine life in a single frame.
-
Get Up to 3x Closer: Dramatically reduces close-focus distance so you can move closer to subjects, eliminating murky water between your camera and the sea life for higher contrast and richer color.
-
Universal 52mm Thread Mount: Threads directly onto any 52mm housing port (such as the SeaLife DC2000 or Olympus housings) or mounts to SportDiver smartphone housings using the SeaLife SL081 Lens Adapter.
-
Precision 4-Element / 4-Group Optics: Fully multi-coated internal glass optics correct barrel distortion and maximize light transmission for corner-to-corner sharpness.
-
Scratch-Resistant Polycarbonate Dome: Features an optical polycarbonate dome with a hard, anti-scratch coating built for rugged marine environments.
-
Rotatable Light Shade: Integrated 360° rotating hood blocks unwanted glare from sunlight or video lights while protecting the dome surface from impact and abrasion.
-
In-Water Wet Lens Flexibility: Easily thread the lens on or off underwater at any point during your dive to switch seamlessly between wide-angle and standard perspectives.

Detailed Description
Expand Your Underwater Perspective
Water refraction naturally magnifies underwater images, narrowing your camera’s field of view and pushing subjects further out of frame. The SeaLife SL054 Dome Lens restores and expands your optical coverage by 43%. By letting you move up to 3x closer to reef structures while keeping everything in frame, you minimize water distortion and capture photos with deeper blues, warmer reds, and higher clarity.
Precision Glass Optics & Anti-Scratch Protection
Built around a 4-element / 4-group optical engine, the SL054 features fully multi-coated optical glass elements that eliminate the edge distortion and chromatic aberration common with single-element lenses. The optical polycarbonate outer dome is treated with a hard anti-scratch coating to withstand frequent underwater use.
Multi-Platform Housing Versatility
Featuring a standard 52mm male thread, the SL054 is a versatile wet lens for multiple camera systems. Thread it directly onto compact camera housings with 52mm ports (like the SeaLife DC2000), or pair it with the SeaLife SL081 Lens Adapter to upgrade your SportDiver smartphone housing into a wide-angle imaging system.
Note: Authorized Canadian distributor product. Includes full Canadian warranty support and local service.
