Randy43068:of camera do you have? I've got a Cannon A85 but am afraid to take it in the water with a housing. I'm afraid that if the thing leaks I'm screwed...
what good is a camera if you're afraid to use it?
I have an Olympus 4040. I've had the camera for quite awhile, just never had the housing for it.
The housings are made for divers who are photographers. Make sure you get the right housing for your camera. Some camera models do not have an underwater housing made for them.
Here is something you should do anytime you get a new housing regardless:
Take the housing diving without the camera the first time...that way you can make sure the seals and o-rings are good. With proper care and maintenance, you should not have any trouble.
