Why so long? What kind of camera is it? Is there a reason you can't use a commercially-available underwater camera housing?Barry Geer said:Hi there..its 750mm long
The most commonly used materials for building an underwater housing for a camera are various types of plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel. These materials are chosen because they are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion from saltwater.
To ensure that the housing is waterproof, it is important to use high-quality seals and gaskets to prevent any water from entering the housing. It is also important to regularly check and maintain these seals to ensure they are in good condition.
No, not all cameras are suitable for use in an underwater housing. It is important to choose a camera that is specifically designed for underwater use or one that is rated for waterproofing. These cameras will have additional features such as specialized buttons and controls that make it easier to use in an underwater environment.
The depth limit for an underwater housing depends on the specific housing and camera being used. It is important to carefully read the specifications and limitations of the housing to ensure it is suitable for the depth you will be diving to.
To maintain an underwater housing, it is important to regularly check and clean all seals and gaskets. It is also important to rinse the housing thoroughly with fresh water after each use in saltwater. It is also recommended to have the housing serviced by a professional every year to ensure it is still in good working condition.
