Waterproof case for DSLR

[DaisyandSika]

I am looking at getting a sand/waterproof case for my Canon T3. I am new to the DSLR world and there is lots to learn! I plan to take my camera everywhere, but not in the water directly. I am just looking to keep it clean and protect it. Or maybe I am just a worrywart!

Good luck, you are looking that MAJOR bucks for a waterproof case for a DSLR...you are mutch better off with a waterproof case for a point and shoot.

I agree with Saccruisers. To waterproof my Canon SLR would cost $1400

for a Ikelite case. I had a new Canon point and shoot that I purchased a Canon case for. It flooded on the first dive and Canon told me tough luck.

I would recommend a Sealife DC1400. I use it for diving,wet or sandy conditions-never a problem. Since you are going to visit the Caribbean,why not try snorkeling or diving ? It's another world down there.

You are not a worrywart. I take good care of my investments.

With care any DSLR can hit the beach or survive a little mist ( with rainsleeves ). For underwater you are best to buy one of the many waterproof P&S marketed by all the major manufactuires.

Thank you all for the advice! And thank you scubacruiser, for sharing your photos. They are amazing, especially your one of the Cozumel Reef!

Thank you for your kind words. But I'm not sure if I answered your

question. What I use for SLR is called aLOKSAK. It's a heavy-duty baggie

used by the Navy divers. It's certified waterproof to 200'. I would never

try it for diving, but it works great for a rain or sand. 2 for $15 it's a

bargain.

Scubacruiserx2, thanks for posting this, I've been looking for something like that is better than a zip lock.
