Any underwater photographers? Which housings do you use?

[Former Member]

Im just wondering if we have any underwater photographers here, and if so, which housings do you use to protect your SLR's and video equipment? I have a Canon T6i that I might want to protect, but not sure if they make a housing.

Also, I know that my S9+ is not waterproof, but are there any housings for it that I can use on vacation to get underwater pictures? Im looking for one that actually works because I dont want to drown my $900 phone

Maybe use some neoprene wrapped around your camera, just like the PhantomRa... actually 2nd thought, I wouldn't bother

You could probably get something like the Sony FDR-X3000 which has full waterproof case for less than an enclosure to keep a dSLR dry.

This looks to be a good option.

In the days i did a lot of underwater photography (anyone else remember taking a black bag chemicals and a development tank on a diveboat) I had a custom made housing for my camera. Managed t flood it one day when a bit of cotton got across an O ring. Goodby camera.

That's a case for the X3000, usually the camera comes with one included and they can be bought new around £300
The image quality is similar to the Hero7 except the stabilisation is optical.
X3000 actually has a special setting for correct underwater colour balance
