you mean besides an underwater housing? most recent Sony and Olympus, some
Nikon, and a smattering of other brand digital P&S cameras have available
housings. most of the Nikon and Canon DSLRs do too. be prepared for major
sticker shock. the housings can be easily the same price as the DSLR and 2
or 3 times the price of a digital P&S, depending on depth rating.
I've seen some digital P&S things that come with a housing.

is an example.
I think this sort of thing is the speed my friend is best suited to, she is
a novice diver, her camera should be as simple as possible.
Anyway, is this sort of thing OK for what it is, or are there ather cameras
or housing/camera combinations better.
There is a budget in place, she needs bang for the buck, not bucks for the
bang.
Thanks Herb
