I made my equipment and have a number of videos on youTube. My channel is timothytech1. I bought a old 35mm camera and housing that is still sold for $28.00- $36.00. I then bought a Poloroid DVF-130 digital camcorder for $39.00 at Big Lots. They also have hi def camcorders for $79.00. I threw away the 35mm camera, and installed the camcorder in the housing. Using a large flash memory card, I get two hours of video. I then take it home and edit it on my computer. I happen to prefer Pinnacle, but there are many editing programs. I also made an underwater LED light using an old housing, two 35 watt LED flood lamps that use only 4 watts each of power, and a lithium- ion battery. Total cost, about $100.00. It's very bright and last over 1.5 hours.

Check out my videos. To find them, try typing in "Diving at Otter Cove in Pacific Grove, CA.". This will take you to my channel, and you can look at the other videos including two I shot in the Florida Keys. Happy diving!
