Camera's on a bugget

[GotAir]

I would really like to have a nice UW digital camera! but I just spent all my bucks on dive gear. so I was going diving that next weekend and I was in walmart to get something? and I thought I would see if they carried a camera that maybe I could get a UW case for. the attendent said they didnt carry UW camera's but did have a cheapy throw away. Kodak Max Sport disposible good for UW no more than 50 ft. I said what the heck $8.50 and I was only diving at 33ft anyway. I was surprized! that it took some really great pic's so i just wanted to let you know.

First of all, welcome to the photo section.

I wasn't aware that those cameras could go that deep; normally they are only good to about 15'.

How about posting some of the pictures here?

Take care,

The wrecks in my profile are from that camera.

Snapsights makes an inexpensive camera that goes down to 85ft. It comes with a 28mm lens and a flash. They sell for about $20 and you can reload the film and battery. I take out the 800 speed film and reload with Fuji 400. I spend another $5 for the closeup lens which lets you shoot at distances from 2-4 feet. In my other BC pocket I cary a small slave flash. It's pretty neat whayou can do with an inexpensive little camera. This one is comparable to the Aquashot.
