Still nursing the pain, my Powerbook took me to SgScuba, where I came across a post on whether to buy or rent housings for cameras.
Over the years of diving, seeing underwater photography becoming more and more popular, and with PADI launching the PADI Digital Underwater Photography, the number of divers owning a underwater housing has increased tremendously.
However, I have always been puzzled with one thing. Some divers will invest in more than SGD$1000 for their camera but not willing to invest in a better housing to protect their camera. This is something that I cannot totally comprehend.
Imagine buying a underwater housing for SGD$200 to protect a SGD$1000 camera? Where is the maths or logic to this?
Imagine you have a 1 million dollars diamond necklace. Instead of securing it in a safe, the owner choose to store it in a Milo tin
