Using my camera underwater

J1234 · 23 Mar 2009 at 19:20

I'm going to the Maldives in July, and will obviously be wanting to take some underwater pictures. I took a disposable underwater camera to Cuba with me in January, and the pictures came out pretty poor, so I am looking for a case for my current digital camera, the Fuji F100fd.

I've seen the proper Fuji cases, but they are around £100 which is a bit pricey. Has anyone tried a cheaper alternative, such as those watertight 'bag' things?

Or am I better off getting a underwater digital camera instead of buying a case for my current one?

Excellent.

Case it is!

Cheers guys.

Just a quick update.

Went for the proper Fuji housing in the end, images came out really well, better than I expected:

Going through them all and processing them at the moment, anyone got any tips?

The sharks were very fun to swim with, they're shy so were quite difficult to get good pictures of them:

Indeed, sharks are awesome.

The housing is well worth it, hopefully returning to the Maldives next year so will use it again.

I was at Bandos Island Resort & Spa.

I could see the LCD very clearly with this, so could zoom, take macros etc and see what I was actually taking.
