“The Ocean at your fingertips

Paralenz Vaquita is a small yet powerful underwater camera with a simple mission: to enable you to seamlessly capture and share brilliant underwater videos with the world. Get wet, discover the depths below, and make an impact. Every dive counts.”

We are very pleased to announce that we will be stocking the brand new Paralenz Vaquita Camera.
Currently these are ONLY available for pre-order. Once you have pre-ordered it, they will be arriving in the shop in September.

Don’t miss out, pre-order your new stunning matt black high-grade aluminium dive camera from us here at Ocean View to be one of the first people in the UK to get your hands on this impressive compact fully loaded camera.

To pre-order your Vaquita, email the shop with your name and number, we can then call you back!!

Specifications:

Intuitive Handling:
Paralenz Vaquita is made for underwater recordings. It fits the palm of your hand perfectly – even with gloves on. Experience the most intuitive handling for undisturbed diving.

OLED Screen:
The Paralenz Vaquita has a new True Color OLED screen. It also displays your dive profile along with the current depth and temperature information.

Up to 4K:
The Vaquita’s updated technology delivers the smoothest and most vivid underwater videos up to 4K.

Waterproof down to 350m
Paralenz Vaquita is made of 100% marine-grade aluminum and is waterproof down to 350m – no extra housing or filters needed.

Intelligent Colour Correction:
Take back all those vivid colors you remember from your dive up to the surface. Paralenz Vaquita’s patented depth-controlled color correction (DCC) automatically adjusts the white balance of your recording to your current depth.

DCC™ is an intelligent version of a color filter, which is normally made from plastic and placed in front of your camera lens, to remove the green or blue taint in your videos. DCC™ is controlled by the pressure sensor inside the camera and adjusts the strength of the filter to match the depth you are at. It works down to depths of 20m, beyond that, you will need to utilise lights.

Auto-Record:
You don’t even need to manually start the camera recording. You can set your preferred depth level at which the Vaquita automatically starts and stops recording.

Integrated GPS sensor
Paralenz Vaquita logs your exact dive location with your recordings so you can always revisit your dive spot.

Collect Ocean Data: Make every dive count
The Paralenz Vaquita has a unique set of sensors that automatically track valuable Ocean data. Sharing your underwater videos and the Ocean data with the App allows marine scientists to learn more about the Ocean and help restore its health.

Dive Buddies: The Camera and the App
Connect your Vaquita to the free Paralenz App to transfer your recordings. Check your dives with the intelligent dive log and scroll through your media library. Proud of a shot? Simply edit it and share the video as a story with other divers. The best part: you help save our Ocean with every shared story.

DIVE KIT SERVICING DURING LOCKDOWN

I hope you and your families are all doing well.

It has been quite a few weeks since I had to temporarily shut the dive centre. Due to the unprecedented circumstances we all find ourselves in, we are currently operating on a one man basis.

Dive Kit Servicing – Whilst the centre is shut for courses and shop sales, I can take your kit in for servicing.
We can also offer Cylinder testing, Cylinder Air an O2 fills.

It has to be on a hands free basis, you need to email us to arrange drop off and pick up. Payment will need to be made via bank transfer, prior to pick up.

Let me know what dive kit servicing you need whilst the shop is closed. I will get it booked in for you, however it is just me, Graeme, in the centre. You will need to bear with me on timings.

By offering this service whilst we are all in Lockdown, your kit can be ready for when the season can start. As and when we are given the green light to go back out and get in the water, we want to enable you to have your kit  ready.

Take a look at the servicing page to see what we can do, if in doubt, email your requirements to us to see if we can help.

Please make sure you are adhering to all guidelines on your journey here. Our aim is to keep your kit safe, and you safe at the same time.

Please note, whilst we are still under lockdown, the shop will not be open at any point for browsing. This is purely a drop off and pick up service.

As soon as we are allowed to re-open we will let you all know.
We look forward to seeing you all soon.
