Underwater Photography - Need Your Advice

[bevbor]

Hi all,

I snorkeling every weekend with my 7 yrs daughter.

I want to make some underwater pictures of her for memories,

and there's 2 options:

1. Buy a box for camera for u/w shooting (I have no good camera also =( )

2. Buy the "Liquid Image" mask:

What do you think, my friends, what is worth more?



Sankew in at once

The Mask looks good to me, but there is a good action cam out there that works for all kinds of sports. It straps or mounts to a bike, helm, or whatever you need. There are about 5 different models of it. It has color,sound, can go under water ,has on 32MB up board memory & uses SD card 2-4 GB also. I have been thinking about getting one for paintball. I have seen a video where it was strapped to a 4 inch rocket & sent way up into the air. It came off when the parachute deployed but the fall didn't seen to hurt it at all. TIt has been used for scuba also. There are a bunch of youtube videos where others have tested it or used it. It sells on E-bay for around $60 -70 new.

Indy mogul at one point did an underwater housing for cameras using and ammo can amd a few other things. I'm looking for it now,but I can't seem to find it. It would be relatively cheap and should work fine if you're just snorkeling.

I'd personally go with a camera, as if you already have a mask that works well, you might not want to switch. Also, if you decide to do any free diving or scuba, those masks don't hold up as well from what I've heard.



Cheers!

Go with a gopro hero cam, the housing the camera comes in is waterproof.



Plus it can also take video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W6EdGNcB2A[/media]
