Are you looking for another bag? If so, ewa-marine makes a much better one. For your camera it's their model VMX. http://www.ewa-marine.de/.../camcorder/e-vmx.htm Should be good to about 30' or less.
They're around $300 at places like BHPhotovideo.com. I see them on eBay periodically for much less. Adorama has it right now for $296: http://www.adorama.com/EWVMX.html
If you're looking for a more solid housing for your camcorder, Epiccam makes a simple tube type housing that might work. I'm not sure if you're camera will fit in it though. It on the surface to a depth of a couple of feet. It's more of a surf/kayak housing than a dive housing, so it's only for the surface to a depth of about 20' or so. www.epiccam.com They're around $3-400 depending on the model. There's what looks to be an Epic Elite listed on eBay right now for $100. Auction # 7552314197
If you want to dive with your HC1, there are several mfr's making a dive housing for it. Seacam Subsea makes one. http://www.seacamsys.com/HD_H1.htm It's $1700 plus when you add the options. Or it will fit in Light & Motion's Bluefin. http://www.uwimaging.com/...900/bluefin_v900.htm $3099 plus options.
I have to ask, what would compel you to put a $2K HD camera in two plastic bags and take it in the water? Wish I had your kind of disposable income... (or luck)
hth,
Steve
