zip lock bag... no... what misled said is how i think most people do it... i want to try an under water disposable sometime see how that works

Any watertight clear box would work. I built mine for 10 bucks with acrylic from lowes and silicone (which does not bond well with acrylic, but well enough for what I use it for at least for now...) I'm also not worried about ruining the wife's Powershot, so it's ok.

The guy who built my tank had a bunch of photoboxes for sale at the frag swap... some for P&S cameras, and some with a little larger dimensions for the nice camera's... ended up only selling a few though.

I forget how much he was selling them for... I think it was $40

I believe the issue isn't how to get the camera in the water...but how to keep it OUT of the water but getting it close to the corals.
