I have a Canon S95 and FIX housing for sale somewhere on here ... now just need to find the post, under the amount you are looking to spend and was an excellent starter camera (and onwards) that I did wonderfully with for several years.

Here is a link to my FB profile for starters, all the photos I have taken except for those in 2017 were with the camera I am selling and there are LOTS to see: Jody Lynn Clark

Found the SB posting.

For Sale - Canon S95 and FIX Housing - $550 US or $700 CDN

My boyfriend lives in Seattle, so I could ship it to you from there. Shipping not included in the price, but would easily fit in the $20 box I would imagine.

Flybigjet has a great starter set up just a few posts down. If I wasn't already half way in to another set up, I'd be looking at that.

For Sale - Complete Canon G9/Ikelite Underwater Dive Camera Rig w/ Strobe

If you want to spend less and just get a camera to start, I'm looking to by his strobe.

The set-up that flybigjet is offering to sell is a good deal for the original poster, ONLY if they keep everything, including the strobe and don't plan on building on that set-up in any way (i.e. adding macro lens, WA lens, etc.) To begin with the G9 camera and Ikelite housing only is not a good place to start.

An Ikelite housing is not ideal for many reasons (do some research on what is compatable and what is not with that housing or the pros and cons of it), however it is priced accordingly because it includes a strobe.

This is an unfair, incorrect, and obviously self-serving post. No problem adding wet lenses to that housing.
Yes, one ought to buy the entire flybigjet setup to get the best deal, but a G9 and Ikelite housing can easily be added to.

Funny tursiops, I thought the same thing about your post - like I said though, I encourage people to do their research about Ikelite housings before buying one.
