A picture is worth a thousand words

and since I am lazy and do not want to try to describe the fish and scenery that I see while in Honduras, I bought a camera. This is the Olympus 1030 sw.


The reason that I chose this camera over the hundreds of options available was its durability. This camera is waterproof to 33 feet, shockproof for a 6 foot fall, crush proof to over 200 pounds and freeze proof. Hopefully I don't need the freeze proof ruggedness while SCUBA diving.

Since the camera is only waterproof to 33 feet I also got the Olympus waterproof housing. This extends the waterproof depth to 130 feet. I chose the Olympus housing over the Ikelite housing due to its ability to accept wet mount lenses with the threads on the lens port. Ikelite does not have this option. Here are a couple of pictures of the housing.
