Sea & Sea has announced their Canon 7D Mark II housing for underwater photo and video, available from Bluewater Photo beginning in early March.

The 7D Mark II is Canon's premier (non-pro) APS-C sensor DSLR and an excellent choice for underwater shooters. The 7D MkII includes more features and better specs than the Canon 70D or the new T6s / T6i. Key features for underwater photography include the 61-point autofocus system and 20MP Dual-Pixel AF CMOS sensor. This sensor provides Servo AF in Live View mode, which (along with the 70D) is the first DSLR to use both contrast and phase detection in Live View (i.e. movie mode), delivering incredibly fast autofocus.
