Brand new to underwater photography, looking for advice to get started

If you have unlimited money, Nauticam has multiple features that less expensive housings lack - add-on viewfinders (straight and 45 degrees), the most comprehensive port system, choice of optical and electrical strobe sync, even a UW-Nikkor water-contact lens adapter, plus it can go below 40M if you're so inclined. As for Fantasea, I fail to see the value proposition in comparison to SeaFrogs - it's several times more expensive while offering more or less the same features. Their RX100V housing is great, but FA6500 is way overpriced for what it does.

Alan,

you can always watch on BC Divers Guy, Sell & Swap on Facebook - used u/w camera system go up for sale frequently
