Very early stages of a POC bit of work for an underwater housing with some electronics in it.

I require some button/rocker switches and power/data connectors for underwater applications.
Notting crazy like 1000+ ft down but around the 300-500ft mark plus overhead.

Mostly after buttons that are small enough to fit a few in a small space. Thinking 3-5mm rounded.
But also need some that are 5-10mm round.

The rocker needs to be large enough for thumb use with neoprene gloves on.
Think camera zoom rocker with the ability to press on it a little or a lot with analog voltage so I can see how far the rocker is pushed.


As for connectors. I am ideally looking for power and coax in a single connector but can settle for two connectors.

Any suggestions on brands to go with?

Most of my searches so far have turned up massive industrial ones or cheap "water proof" ones.
Ideally looking for suggestions from people who have used connectors underwater. I have found a few suppliers.

I think that at these pressure ranges everything is custom. About 10 to 15 bar overpressure.
From your picture it looks like its for something camera related.
There are under-water housings for for some cameras on the marked
