Re: Underwater Housing and a new Diver

For a new diver, I would strongly recommend against housing a DSLR. The resulting rig will be huge and heavy, and managing it underwater will require buoyancy skills that most new divers simply don't have. Your air consumption with a large camera rig shoots up as well. If you want to get a feel for underwater photography, take a PADI underwater photography course with a rented P&S, or get a cheap action camera like an SJCAM. Once you have some experience, you'll be able to better decide in which direction to go.
