Aquatica Housing

[GWNDWN]

Hey Ryan,

This is Ryan, we dove together a couple months ago in Lake Amistad. I just bought a Nikon D70s and need to get housing for it. How have you liked or not liked the Aquatica housing?

Thanks

Hey Ryan,

Take it for what it is worth (absolutely nothing), but I think the Aquatica housing is very nice. It is certainly very well built, can withstand the depths at which I tend to dive sometimes, and has full access to all of the features of the camera. It balances nicely in the water also. The only thing that an Ikelite housing has over it is the electronics to utilize the TTL mode with the sub strobes. I have to shoot mine in manual mode, but once you learn a few tricks you can take pictures just as easily. If I had to buy a housing again for the camera it would defintely be another Aquatica.

Nice photos Ryan!

I've got the D-70 with the Aquatica as well and I find it pretty easy to put together and use. All of the functions are pretty accessible and as Ryan said, it's rated for 300+ feet.

My only critisism is that you can't turn the camera on and off while it's in the housing.
