SD800IS Underwater

[glassandgear]

I'm going to be going on a trip in a few months that should provide me the opportunity to do some snorkeling/diving and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using the SD800 in an underwater housing. How well does the camera perform underwater?

I have used my CanonA95 in a Canon underwater housing and the results were wonderful...all controls are accessible and the "underwater" setting produces great results...even the videos turned out very well.

Check one of my photos here......

I have tried this one, and I was very pleased with the results! Very nice housing

I have the blue and yellow Canon housing and took it to Cuba in August. Only took my camera out of the housing to charge the battery!!

I dived to approx 20m with it without any issues, and you can't tell from the pictures that I was underwater. First class housing, and well recommended!
