i dont think much could...i mean...maybe a leak here or there...*sarcasm*

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Look at the second site, the music in the video sounds like it was off some Japanese RPG port to the nintendo in the mid nineties or something. The download is worth it for the music alone!

the epic marine housings are about as close to you can get to DIY.. one tube with a plunger on the end.

and they sell them on ebay for $175 bucks... so it might be one of those its-so-cheap-just-buy-it things.

All these housings are for very shallow depths- we'll never find the elusive Jaguar Shark with one of them, and even if we could, he'd bite us in half like a twig. What we need is a submarine! Alright... who wants to pool our money to get this-

I know, I know 83 million sounds like a lot, but consider the shots we could get! And we don't even need to get wet. If we bind together we could be the greatest underwater documentary crew of all time.

Seriously though, thanks for the links, I LOVE underwater photography (and fish and stuff too)

What is this? "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" ? Where's the film studio room?

All kidding aside, that would be an amazing tool...
