Fort Lauderdale, FL., October 11, 2012 - Zen Underwater announces support options for the Olympus PT-EP-08 underwater housing for the popular Olympus OM-D EM-5 micro-four thirds camera.  A new dome port and port adapter are now available allowing accessory ports to be used that support key lenses for underwater photographers.
