morecruise4me Posted March 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2008 We want to take pictures while snorkeling, but don't want to spend a lot of money. I've seen some waterproof "aquapac" bags advertised. Has anyone used them and do they really keep the water out? I know it's not going to be as good as a hard casing made for the camera, but how well do they really work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oolala Posted March 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I've used the Aquapac and had no problems. Also, purchased the Aquapac for money and passport and no water gets in at all. In addition to that I tried the waterprood disposables and was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashwl Posted March 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you are just snorkeling you can get the underwater disposable cameras. They are usually fine for depths from 6-10 feet. If you arent diving, you dont have to worry about the pressure crushing a disposal waterproof camera. Plus if you dropped a 8-dollar camera I doubt you would care as much as your nice one if you didnt have a diver capable of fetching it for you, haha.

DiveCruiser Posted March 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If all you are doing is snorkeling take a desposable one, they work good till about 20 below the surface. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzegirl Posted March 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I wouldn't put any camera of value in an Aquapac. Have seen to many folks lose their cameras and most complain of crummy photos. Not worth it in my opinion. By a camera with a housing or a disposable one. Much safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
