I've been looking into buying an underwater camera for scuba for a while but not sure what camera to get! I am on a budget and don't need amazing pictures. Just something to mess with and have fun with but needs to be durable! If you have any ideas please help! Thanks!

Hi Dave:

very good question sir, and for our terrestrial locked friends, there are a ton of choices. When our adventurous SCUBA diving brethren and sistren the water, our choices narrow.

The industry leader in the underwater and waterproof cameras is Sea Life, of which we are proud master dealer (disclaimer alert, we love selling them-laughing).

Understanding that divers like yourself and myself don't want to spend an arm and a leg on an underwater camera, they developed the SeaLife Mini:

Here is more information:

Compact, rugged and easy to use, the Mini II is ready for adventure
The Mini II is waterproof to 130 feet, rubber armored and built to survive drops, tumbles and falls. The Mini II features 9 megapixel resolution and large, wide-spread controls for easy operation. The Easy Setup on-screen guide ensures the camera is set correctly for great pictures on land or underwater. Let your creativity shine with the SPY mode which lets the camera do all the work - it takes continuous pictures at set time intervals so you can capture those impossible photos when you can't get close to the subject.


The world's most rugged camera
Not only is the Mini II compact and easy to use, it's also the world's most rugged camera. Depth tested waterproof to 130 feet, rubber armored for a sure grip, and shock impact tested to a 6ft/2m drop on a hard concrete surface, the Mini II is the perfect companion for any outdoor activity.

The MIni II starts at a base model of $230.00, and then you can build with a wide-angle lens, mount, and strobe.

This setup is now called the SeaLife Mini Elite:

There are many iterations to all of this and we are here to help you navigate this. It is about treating you like a friend, instead of a credit card. Welcome to the K2 difference!

Dive safe Dave, and tell me how I can help!

Is it better to use an ISO more than 200 for underwater camera use?




jennyb_lyn


I just bought an underwater camera and the suggested ISO is 200. THe camera has an internal flash but woudln't it be better to use a higher speed film to capture more light and color? Wouldn't ISO 400 or 800 better?


Answer
Depending on the type of film, the photos would probably start to get grainy at the higher ISO. You should probably experiment with some test film rolls to see what works best.

If this is an digital camera, you would be able to compare the different ISO settings while you're still on location and make adjustments as you see fit.
