As I mentioned in my previous post I picked up a cheap $149 AUD underwater housing before I went on holiday to Fiji. I figured it would be cool to play around with some shots in the water and I knew that being a hell of a lot cheaper than a ‘proper’ DSLR underwater housing there would be limitations, and perhaps even disaster.
I wasn’t taking any chances, so I loaded up the Dicapac WP-S10 with my old Nikon D200, the bag clearly accommodates an assortment of DSLR types and sizes but I found a camera the size of the D200 with the battery grip taken off was about the biggest camera you’d get in the bag comfortably. You wouldn’t do it anyway, but the D3/D2x size bodies have too much bulk between the bottom of the camera and the lens, therefore not fitting into the lens port on the housing correctly.

I thought that it would be fun to use this for some snorkelling and also found it was great to use in times that I would never take a camera, such as sailing and even just playing around in the pool.
