best underwater camera for your money image
ash
i would like a underwater video camera that does not cost to much money.
Answer
you can get cheap ones that go to about 15 ft but once you get to 30ft you are going to find that things get more expensive as the greates pressure change is from 0-10 metres 0-39 feet ish. you are unlikely to get a camera that does that Sea and surf make one but they are not cheap, your other option is a housing that will fit a camera/camcorder, but if you want to protect your equipment you need to spend some money, you can use a plastic bag (designed for taking cameras underwater) with a seal (ziplock) but they are around $100
if you are going to use it for diving then you need to add your maximum depth plus 50% for safety

How do you take pictures underwater? What equipment do I need?

I am going to the Flordia Key in two weeks. I know all about the camera water casing (they cost alot). I was thinking about buying desposible underwater cameras, but my instructor that the cameras would not take good pictures. I own a Digital SLR camera, but I think it would be risky to bring it underwater, even with a covering. Should I buy a waterproof digital camera (Camera types?)? Any solutions (Not requiring loads of money)?
Also, is there any "rules" to taking pictures underwater? Lastly, is there any procedures to taking good pictures underwater?
Answer
Rubbish. A disposable will be OK if you're only snorkeling, but the photo quality royally sucks (underwater only). I tried using 30(?) meter disposables on 10 dives in Cozumel and NO underwater photos were even a little acceptable.
You reference an instructor, so we can assume that you are diving. Most budget conscious divers go to Leisure Pro for their non-life-supporting accessories, but even there you will see housings aren't cheap. Best bet is to hold off on photography until you can drop the $200 on a good, reliable housing for your digital cam.
Rules- Always be aware of your surroundings. You and your buddies safety is first, getting a shot of the mermaid is a distant second.
It's all about the light. Read up on how to photograph underwater without a strobe (the Net is peppered with articles). If by 'rules' you meant 'laws' regarding photographing underwater, the answer is "if you can see it, you can photograph it" (unless diving Area 51).
Good luck!
