Hi people.

Im looking to doing some underwater photography when i go scuba diving in cyprus in august. and i'm wondering i've got a Canon Powershot A80 - Fantastic camera. perfect for me, if you can get some sort of watertight casing at all?

any help/advice apprieciated

Yes you can, but last time I looked it was over £100. You can get third party cases a bit cheaper, but I'm really not sure if I'd trust them to work properly.

get the canon own brand one, its a really good housing, 40m depth, all controlls accessable, built in flash diffuser. about £130.

some of the third party ones are nothing more than a heavy duty freezer bag with a glass filter attached.

40 meters is an impresive depth

That's a good point

40m is quite good really, just buy it, £100 isn't that much really.
