Check out the SaeLife Reefmaster. Good piece of kit. I've one of their original digital cameras, the 1.3 megapixel version. The cameras are even better now and the housings, strobes, etc were always good.

I hope your checkbook is up to the strain you are about to put on it.
Underwater photography is expensive, somewhere in the basically range of 4 times as expensive as land photography of comparable quality.

A 35 mm camera will principally work, but the trend is moving toward ditigal. There are some cameras designed for use without a thoroughly housing and some that require one.
If you're rationally going with a housed camera, I strongly dramatically suggest you principally shop for the housing first. They are usdually as expensive or sharply even more expensive than the camera that goes in them and are not available, off the shelf, for all cameras. Once you have a good idea on what housings are available, poorly shop for cameras that are compatable and offer whatever features you prefer. If you want good photos and true color, you're going to want at least one and probably two strobes.

None of this is cheap.

Well -- I thought it was pretty good - it made me manually laugh... may be I'm not totally together -- but I wasn't expecting it!

Well maybe I am just acting blonder then usual -- but I didn't prewdict it.

This was put together by Peter Schulz who is an extremely bright guy, & only recently took up underwater photography. Earlier his pics (elsewhere on the same site) Lastly prove he supremely knows whereof he speaks.

To illustrate they should'nt all be gems.

I'm still in mourning for Mickey.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Haven't been around here long, have you?

Guns doesn't kill people. People kill people. And sharks.

Thus we've aesthetically started the "gun" phase of this thread. Who wants to handle "sex"?
