What is the Paralenz DCC™ and why is it a better solution than traditional filters?
When the Paralenz® Dive Camera was released last year it immediately drew the attention of divers worldwide for its groundbreaking features designed with a full focus on scuba and freediving. These features solve many of the problems other action cameras have when used for diving. You no longer need an additional housing as the Paralenz camera can go to 200 meters. The Auto Record makes sure you’ll never forget to start recording your dive. But, the most prominent advantage for many divers is that the Paralenz Dive Camera needs no color filters! The solution is called Depth Controlled Color, DCC™.
Why is the Paralenz DCC™ better that traditional filters?
There are many reasons why the depth-controlled color correction from Paralenz is such a game-changer, we’ve listed a few below.
No fiddling with flimsy filters
There is an endless variety of color filters available – different colors for different depths and water types, some are built to flip and some hang on strings from the camera. They all need to be changed whenever you change depth, they are cumbersome, fragile, they can get lost or break. The Paralenz® Dive Camera doesn’t need filters! Nothing to get lost, to forget or change.
Amazing colors straight off the camera
Because the DCC™ continuously color grades the footage according to your depth it gives you the best colors possible for every single shot and lets you focus on the dive. You no longer have that red hue at the surface or dark/blue image at depth that you get from the external red filter that is needed for all other action cameras. Never worry about color correction again!
More light means more color
Whenever you put a filter in front of the lens, it absorbs the light, just like when you put on sunglasses. The result is blurry and dark footage. The Paralenz Dive Camera doesn’t need filters! – This means that all that nice light goes straight to the lens and lets the DCC™ work its magic.
Bored of color grading footage?
When using external color filters you will still need to adjust the colors in post-production software in order to get colors closer to reality. With the Paralenz® you don’t, this means that it is much easier and faster to share colorful footage straight after the dive from the Paralenz Dive App on you phone or tablet.
Much more than just better colors
DCC is much more than just beautiful colors – you get sharper and brighter images straight of the camera without the hassle of filters and need for color grading. And most important of all, it let´s you focus on your dive and not on your camera!

The Sharkskin T2 Chillproof Suit
by Liquid Sports
info@liquidsports.co.uk / www.sharkskin.com / Sharkskin Facebook / Liquid Sports Facebook
The Sharkskin T2 Chillproof one-piece full suit offers complete protection from the cold, sun, and marine stingers. It is designed to replace a wetsuit in warmer waters or to be worn under an existing wetsuit for extra warmth in colder waters. The 4-way stretch material is comfortable and less buoyant than neoprene, reducing the amount of weight needed, making scuba diving or snorkeling more comfortable.
The chest zip design provides greater flexibility in the torso and reduces water flow. The large cargo pocket on the thigh can be used to store accessories in an easily accessible and secure design.
The Sharkskin T2 Chillproof range is an enhanced version of the standard Chillproof range. This range incorporates Titanium Far Infrared (FIR) nano-technology into the fabric, which retains your body’s heat, improves circulation, and enhances metabolic function. The T2 Chillproof range is 100% windchill proof and has the same thickness as the standard Chillproof range, but provides the warmth equivalent to a 4-5mm wetsuit. This makes it a great substitute for a wetsuit in warmer waters or an extra layer of insulation in colder waters. The Titanium nano-particles reflect and retain the Far Infrared heat energy emitted from our bodies, effectively keeping us warmer and increasing blood flow for better metabolic function and recovery.

The Diver & the Cook
A book published by Dived Up Publications
info@divedup.com / www.DivedUp.com / Dived Up Facebook / Dived Up Instagram / Dived Up tiktok
A ship lost. No survivors. A grim recovery mission begins, pushing a team of commercial divers well beyond their comfort zone. Braving treacherous conditions, Nico van Heerden single-handedly combs the cramped, debris-strewn, zero-visibility Jascon 4 shipwreck searching for any sign of the lost crew.
Then, in a scene akin to a horror movie, while exploring a small, isolated compartment, Nico feels a tap on his shoulder. Could someone have survived underwater for over sixty hours?
The Diver & the Cook is the incredible true story of a seemingly impossible underwater rescue. Told first-hand, with authentic images and detailed reconstructions, veteran filmmaker Lasse Spang Olsen brings this gripping tale to life.
An unprecedented operation, this story provides a unique perspective on the dangers and challenges faced by divers, showing the importance of teamwork and communication in high-risk situations. An incredible survival story against all odds, with an equally surprising aftermath.
