Here it is, painted up all pretty-like. The housing is finished, with a fresh coat of marine yellow, a retaining clip,and some ballast in the handles to make it float level. Tomorrow we are going to Ginnie Springs and I can test to see if it makes it to the 33 foot mark.
I found out today that Sony actually makes an 'official' housing for my camera, they want $280 for it and it only goes to 16 feet. and for another $700 you can get the light and mounting arm that go with it. Wow, what a deal, only $1000 to take a $400 camera down to 16 feet.
Mine costs about $25 so far and when I add one of Gibby's lights the total will still only be up to about $100.
Tomorrow is also the Dive-Rite tryout day at Ginnie, where you get to mess around with all the cool new gear. I dont think I'll get to do any of that since we're gonna be tubing not diving or snorkling.
