Waterproof Underwater Housing
Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 in Photography
Underwater photography?
I was wondering if there was a way you could do underwater photography without spending loads on waterproof housing (I don't have any money =< )
How much would a camera case cost?
I don't want a new camera, a want a way of waterproofing my SLR
What do you mean by heavy zip top bags?
Yes, there are cheap alternatives to the expensive housings. Some people use heavy zip top bags, this is OK as long as you are not too deep. A dive buddy of mine made his own housing out of PVC pipe and plexiglass. He has had id as deep as 125 feet, so that is pretty good. It must be air tight, and works best if you put a little weight inside if you are diving deep.
***Added - Zip top bags are plastic bags that you put food and stuff into. Ziplock is a brand name of zip top bags. They are air/water tight, but not to much depth.
