Underwater camera (scuba)

[Ardbeg]

Hi all,

I have recently passed my open water scuba diving and am looking to purchase a decent camera system for an upcoming holiday. Does anyone have any advice on a decent starter camera setup?

I have done a little bit of research and am leaning towards a Sony RX100 or maybe the RX100m2 with a nauticam housing. I will then expand this with strobes, lens etc as finances permit.

The camera and housing need to be suitable for dives up to 40 meters (for some future proofing).

Also, any advice on other kit would be welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice all. I know i am very new to diving, but with the trips i have planned i will have increased my experience and dive count to over 40 before September.

I am also booked in to do my advanced open water in the last week of August, Porthkerris.

The real aim is to be proficient in both diving ability and photography before May next year, when i have a holiday to Mexico. I would really love to capture that on film.
