The more I shoot the more I discover new possibilities for the G1. Now, after the summer hiatus, I was starting to plan for next summer doing two things I like: scuba diving and amateur photo.

Does anyone know a good underwater case for the G1?. What about external flash?

Thank you in advance.

It'll cost you as much as a new G1, but here it is:

Maybe someone actually has one of these and can comment on it.

Thanks for your info, you are right it costs as much as new G1!!. I know Ikelite and they make good materials.

I'll give a try to a soft case I had for my video camera, it worked OK down to 10-15 meters. As I have results for these tests I'll post it here (don't expect it very soon as the summer is over here).

I have a case made by Ewa-marine. It cost about $99 U.S. It's not made for deep submersion though. I forget, but it's around 10 feet. I use it on my kayak.

I think that is the brand of the soft case I mention. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.
