Abstract

An underwater housing comprises a laterally offset back-to-back dome configuration. A dual-lens camera having laterally offset back-to-back lenses is mounted within the housing such that the optical axes of the camera lenses align with the optical axes of the domes. This configuration beneficially minimizes effects introduced by the dome on field of view and focus.
