Sea & Sea are a manufacturer of underwater photographic equipment, operating from Tokyo, Japan. They are a division of the corporation perhaps more widely known for the Sunpak brand of electronic flash units. The company's origins were with a waterproof electronic flash unit developed circa 1969 by brothers Masaoki and Masateru Yamaguchi, and named "Yellow Sub" in honor of the then-popular Beatles song and animated film.

Sea & Sea have offered waterproof cameras, housings, and flash units. All of their 35mm film cameras have been discontinued, and these models are listed below.
