To me, having the proud feeling of making a housing for your camera wouldn’t weigh up against the anxiousness of worrying if it works or will have a good life time…
If its just a surfing shallow water casing then yeah ok… but i couldn’t think of much worse than being down 40m and watching water trickling into your expensive digital / film camera because of a home made housing… for the peace of mind and reliability i’d just fork out the money…
I think for a normal digital camera like a Canon Powershot A95 or something… its say $AUD300 for a housing?
Underwater camera definately worth the money…especially if its slow mo footage of urchins attacking pawl…
mine would be a shallow water and i would definetly be running some test first(luckily i am aguard at the local swiming pool so i can easily have access to the deep end for testing
Don’t make me come to knew zeeland and kick your ass paul…
only my opinions matter haha… well its all bs anyways
Yeah with those urchins theres not a lot you can do when they break off…
when diving in greece, used to get small tips broken off in my feet / legs / knees…
best thing we did was have a warm bath to open up skin and pores … soak in olive oil for a while… rub it in… try and lube / pinch / press that sucker out
How you getting urchins in you anyways ? and didn’t you learn the first time …
