Looking for a last minute Christmas present?
I am selling my beloved IKELITE Underwater Housing for the CANON 5D. It has served me well over the last couple of year and helped creating shots like this:
Or this:
And here are the facts:
IKELITE Clear Acrylic UW-Housing for Canon 5D only
Purchased from Digital-Diver in Cairns – no grey market import
Approx. 60 dives logged
Year Built: 2008 (two port locks)
Operating depth down to 200ft
eTTL2 circuitry for strobes as well as manual power settings
Excellent condition, always closed at sea, never dropped, always rinsed in fresh water after every dive
Never had any problems, never leaked or flooded
Includes tray/handles
Does NOT include port system – you will need to purchase this separately from IKELITE according to your lenses.
More info here
Price paid new: AU$1627
Asking AU$1100 (ONO) plus shipping within Australia approx. $60
I guarantee that this housing is fully working if operated correctly!
I only sell it due to upgrade to CANON 5D MkII, which doesn’t fit.
Enquires welcome, BM if you need more info or feel free to forward this on to a keen 5D owner. Inspections welcome if you are heading to Ningaloo Reef any time soon.
Thanks for looking.

Ah damn! I was gonna ask if it fit the 5D MkII cause I would’ve definitely thought about it if it did. Glad I read your whole post.
Good luck on the sale!

Jonathan, there is people out there who modified the housing to fit the MkII, but out of the box no, it is about 5mm (!) to small. There are a few buttons in the MkII in different locations as well so it is not an easy mod. You can ask google for the details.
I was very upset about at first but finally bought the new housing, of course now I have one I don’t need any more. Was going to keep it as a back-up but can’t, because I already have excess luggage anyway. :-)

Oh and good luck with the sale :)

Cheers Paul. I’ve bought another one from Ikelite. Never had any problems and could use my existing dome ports and strobes without modification.
