I don't know about this housing, but I used to dive years ago (in my
teens), and I can tell you that you may find a 60' depth restrictive. At
this point you might not expect to go deeper than 60', but if you come
to enjoy diving, eventually you'll learn that 60' is not very deep.
There's much of interest below that. (Although I will say that the
majority of my dives were probably between 40 and 60'.)
You can probably get a custom housing made, but a Nikonos is a better
bet for 35 mm. The problem with using an SLR in a housing is the small
viewfinder. Back in the 60s, people who did serious underwater
photography had housings built for Rollei TLRs and Bronica or Hasselblad
SLRs, with big, ground-glass focusing screens. This is still the way I
would go if I were going to do this today.
Have fun,
Joe
