XOXOXuXnoX

I have a waterproof camera that says it can go down 33 feet.... i'm going scuba diving and will be going anywhere from 40-90 feet. Can i bring it deeper than it says?? what will happen if i do??

Answer
It's your camera. You can do what you like. If you want to push the limits and risk ruining it, go ahead. I personally wouldn't, but it's your dollar. Have fun.

What sort of camera would i need?

Q. I want to do a documentary about sea life and this would require scuba diving i am planning to go pretty deep in an ocean so im not sure what type of waterproof camera would hold up that deep.Where can i find one qualified for this without spending 1000's

Answer
The camera is not the expensive part, its the housing.

assuming you are a sports diver you will probably go no more than 40m you need a housing that will cope with a minimum of 80m. there are a few companies that make housings for most camera makes. They are not cheap, Sure you can get cheap housings for cameras, but do you want to take the risk. at 40m the pressure on the housing is a lot, and any faults in the case/seals, will let the water pour in or implode the case.

Good luck
