Underwater Camera Case Canon 7d
is there a canon 7d underwater case?
If not what are some good high quality ( profesional camera that goes underwater)
The Aquatech for the 7D is only rated to 10m. If you’re a scuba diver this won’t be enough. I have a Sea & Sea housing for my Nikon and they are highly regarded housings. A Sea & Sea (rated to 100m) for a 7D is £3000 though (not including ports).
An Aquatica (rated to 90m) is £2450. An Ikelite (the cheapest brand) is £1270 (again excluding ports).
Ports and strobes are additional – ports vary from a couple of hundred quid for a flat port (for a macro lens) to about £500 for a dome port (for wide angle lens). A single strobe, arm & sync cord is about £600, a dual strobe setup about £1000.

Underwater photography is not cheap – my setup cost in the region of £4000 (not including camera/lenses).
If you do buy a rigid housing, test it first in a pool with no camera. Work all the buttons/levers & check for leaks. After every dive, wash thoroughly in fresh water. Before every dive remove, clean & re-grease and re-seat the O ring seals. 99% of housing floods are poor maintenance/user error.
There are no ‘professional’ cameras built for underwater, only point & shoots. If you want your DSLR underwater you have to buy a rigid housing for it (or buy a point & shoot).
