Water Housing...

I have now found the camera I want, but alas, Panasonic do not make their own water housing for the camera..I now have two options:

- Make my own housing.

This is a huge gamble on whether or not it will work in terms of it being watertight but it will still be a great thing to do as it will be a good experience, and fun to have as an addition to the film (special features such as "Making of the film" etc). The construction will feature a piece of PVC soil piping, clear perspex, some marine sealant and some stainless steel clamps.

Instructions found on how to make one

An example of a DIY housing is shown below:

- Buy a water housing from a specialist company.

I have had a look around the net and found various companies that make water housing. They all seem to be around the 200 pound mark whether its from the states or the UK.
One company in particular, Aquatix International seems to have exactly what I need. It is from the states, and including postage, once again, it is around the 200 pound mark.
