My wife and I are going on our first cruise to the Bahamas next month. Hopefully there aren't any hurricanes brewing mid-September :rolleyes: (don't worry, we opted for the insurance)...

I am looking at the WP-DC13 housing that Canon makes for this model camera. Does anyone have any experience with Canon's underwater gear? I'm not going to be scuba diving or anything, just probably snorkeling, so I'm not too concerned about something that can go very deep. The Canon housing says it is rated to 130ft, so I'll be more than fine with that.

B&H has them for ~$170... are they any brands that would be better in this price range?

A housing for the 20D is simply out of the question - I can't justify spending $1000+ for something that I would probably not use that often.

I've had good luck with the Canon underwater housings for surfing. They never leaked anyway so I guess that's all one can hope for right? :D
