suggestions for UW housing for PD170?	Can't Post

Hi-
I'm looking into buying a basic underwater set-up for my PD-170. Nothing fancy, just enough to dive in 50 fsw.
Any suggestions for brands and/or models?
Price ranges?
also, can the wide angle adapter fit in the housing?
thanks!
Liz

Hi Liz,
Can't think of any basic housing for a PD170 except the "bag" type, and I don't think it's good for anywhere near 50 feet.
Gates, Amphibico, Sea & Sea and Light & Motion all make housings that may be appropriate depending on your preferences. Ikelite also makes one but it is quite bulky.
Sadly most of them cost more than the camera.
Hit some web sites then maybe a dealer to see them and their details.

Gates make one. B&H have it on their brochure, check their website. Expensive though.
