Technical book on housed SLRs

Hi

Ive had a fair amount of experience with DSLRs (Canon) on land and film UW photography (Nikonos RS) but none with UW housed DSLRs. Any suggestions for a good technical book on SLR housing (e.,g rules for using a diopter and dome port choice with WA zooms).

I've personally never heard of such a thing.

You should have a good look at the housing manufacturers websites, I know for a fact Ikelite has a huge list of camera/lens/port combinations and also if a dioptre is needed.

This site will have to serve as your 'book'!

This book, although very old now, is probably closest to your needs:

Not even an inkling of digital in there, but plenty in housed SLRs.

The cover pic is great Alex and worth the cost on it's own!

The horseshoe buoyancy system ( with direct feed flapping in the current ) and the round mask - wow that brings back memories of my training days......

The only concern is the Jet fins - I still have mine

Couet and Green is far better for Nikonos. The housing 'market survey' though, is interesting, as they show housings not common in the US - like those made by Aquamarin.
