Cameras Underwater have a wide range of housings - and very good service.

Carly saw the sea in a book once
Amazon is by far the cheapest place to get them, think its about £82, but I ordered one mid may and by the end of June cancelled the order as they kept putting my estimated delivery date back and I needed it to go away in July!

I ended up getting mine from ebay from a seller called urgalaxy, was the cheapest of all the others I found and delivery was within a few days. Just can't wait to take it away now, only a week to go

Thanks for the heads up...

got to get hold of one asap for my brother in law who is off to Zanzibar (git) next week.

Cameras Underwater it is then

In case you are interested, I had a look at a few others on the web where the price was cheaper, showing also they had stock - as soon as you order, a box flashes up showing "low stock" - then gives an approximate date for the stock to be in!

Another vote for Cameras Underwater - and they didn't even sell me anything.

I went down to their office to see about picking up a couple of extra lenses for my partners MMII-Ex. Talking to one of their staff they suggested the idea of moving to digital, the cost of buying the lenses was going to set me back 200 odd quid and his suggestion was to put that towards a new digital setup instead. They showed us a couple of decent setups but didn't attempt a hard sell at all. I got the impression he'd rather went away having bought nothing and maybe go back to them later when we knew what we wanted, rather than sell us something that we'd be unhappy with, and annoyed at them for selling us, 6 months down the line.

In the end we were able to source the setup we wanted for slightly less than cameras underwater, but I'd still thoroughly reccomend them on the basis of their customer service alone.

Just bought 2 housings (I had to get one as well!) From CU.

Very helpful, very painless.

They are happy - I am happy (well I will be when I get them on Monday!)
