NuPro Camera
The NuPro Splash
Now there are two models:
the Submarine used for SCUBA diving to 192 feet deep
and the Splash which can withstand rain and surf.
Price difference
Nupro Submarine = $349.95
Nupro Splash = $79.95
We decided to make the new Splash NuPro model because a customer survey indicated that we were losing sales due to the high price of the NuPro. Having been in the SCUBA business for more than 40 years, we were thinking only of our scuba diving customers. We designed it to be an improvement on the GoPro. The biggest advantage over the GoPro is the fact that we were able to waterproof the camera itself so it did not need to be put in a little plastic box to use it.
That little plastic box that is needed to keep the GoPro and all the other little sport cameras dry has some big drawbacks.
1. It causes the camera to overheat after a while so you have to stop filming and open the box to let it cool off.
2. The box muffles the sound that is picked up by the microphone in the camera, causing a much lower quality sound recording.
3. Humidity can condense on the inside of the plastic box in front of the camera lens making it impossible to get clear sharp pictures.
By eliminating the very expensive internal waterproofing technology we are able to offer the NuPro Splash at a much lower price.
You can still use it for surfboarding, in the rain and snow and with every other sport. You can still wash it under a faucet if you get it dirty.
(The splash is especially good for those who don't need to take the camera diving. It does everything the Submarine model does but costs much less. Just don't take it scuba diving.)

The NuPro is a sports camera engineered to its most functional design so it can also be used by law enforcement or the military with the least amount of "get ready". That means the controls must be quick and easy to use in a tactical situation. (even while wearing gloves) It does not need to be installed in a waterproof case before going in the water. It has an Aluminum Magnesium Alloy shell. It's waterproof the way it is. Take it out of your pocket and begin shooting. It has only 2 buttons but full feature (use more than 35 camera settings or just point and shoot) access capability using the buttons. Or, let the camera make the decisions for ISO setting, white balance, shutter speed, lens opening etc. That makes it perfect for serious sport photographers. It comes with a full set of mounting equipment that screws into its tripod socket for windshields, helmets, handlebars, etc.
Also available in black
We've been told that the black color makes the camera less noticeable. This helps taking candid pictures of dogs and children because a shiny camera attracts their attention. It also makes candid photography a lot easier.
We'll let you decide which model you would prefer. They're both available on the shopping page.
