Where's the best place to get camera enclosures?

[NeveSSL]

Hi all!

Just about finished with my cert... I just have to do my check out dives in a few weeks.

Anyway, I've got a Nikon D50 and I was wondering where the best place to get a water-proof enclosure for it would be? I definitely would like to get the best deal, but obviously don't want to skimp on something that could potentially kill my camera!

Thanks!

Wow... ultimately, they're not cheap!

About $900 is the cheapest I've found. Thats 3x what I paid for my camera. :lol: Oh well... maybe AFTER school.

B & H Photo in NYC is a good place for camera gear, including UW gear

Yep! Thats where I was looking.

Needless to say, they seem to be the king of all things photography.

gates and light & motion are the two biggies, followed up by the more hobby lined ikelite. Most good dive shops should be able to order these for you, or you can try http://www.h2ophotopros.com/

Helix camera in Chicago they have a website and just about anything you would need for underwater photography. I have ordered from them several times and have gone out of their way to make sure they get me what I need for my trips.

IKELITE housings, all the way..........stay away from cheap housings (crap) like Fantasea.
