So I'm really intriqued about underwater photography and I was wondering about underwater housing units for my D70 and mainly 50mm 1.8 lens.

Anybody got any links to help me investigate this more? I did a little reearch on google but all the prices were USD$.

EDIT:

Found this website which seems quite good...

Well that certainly isn't cheap!! Sounds like great fun though.

You could always do what i did and get a fuji f31 and a Dicapac underwater bag (Total cost less than £140).

Waterproof to 5m (Tested up to 18m)

cant wait to try it out next week in the dominican.

The advantages of a P&S to me are less risk to expensive equipment and underwater movies :D

Colin,

See this post ( http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=25518 ) for example of what the 'cheaper' option can achieve in my completley novice hands.

I own a nice little pocket sized casio exilim s-500 and found this for it (which i will be ordering next week), makes it a cracking little underwater camera and im not as worried about ruining this as i would be my slr
