IkeLite Underwater Case!?

[cw28]

Hi guys!

I was browsing the web to search for a underwater case for the d5100; £800 for the cheapest one!

I was wondering whether anyone has/knows where one is to rent/buy?

Going to Phuket so wanted to snap some underwater goodies!

I've never seen these cases being offered for rent but you never know until you ask. It might behoove you to pick up a LifeProof case for your phone (or iPad) and use that instead. I realize it won't be nearly as satisfying as using your DSLR but it would save you a lot of coin.

And please tell me that Phuket is not pronounced like I think it's pronounced....

btw - welcome to Nikonites

I would buy a waterproof point and shoot, keep your D5100 safe.

The top one looks good but it is still a massive amount to bail out for a 2 week trip.

but its so much nicer using what you know, if you know what i mean!

You just have to be really careful to seal them properly.
