We admit to being rough on our equipment which is why the Olympus tough TG-6 waterproof camera is on our Santa list this year. Does it live up to the hype of being waterproof, rustproof, shockproof, crush proof, and freeze proof? And it’s anti fog to boot.
The Olympus TG-6 is Waterproof
You can go 50 feet deep underwater with this camera. Some owners have pushed it to 75 feet, although we don’t recommend it. If you want to go deeper, buy the Olympus PT-059 underwater housing for it. That will get you to a water depth of 147 feet. We were surprised at the vivid color underwater.
