Underwater video...

The cheapest housing is going to be an Ewa bag. They're available at B&H
Photo, mail order. You can match up the bag with an inexpensive digital
camera. Check to be sure the bag is rated to 40 feet. I seem to recall
they usually go to 30 feet.

What do you mean by Cheap. $1000 or more??
My kit cost around $3500 and I think it was cheap.
I have a Cannon xm-1 with a housing by Birchley products (google in uk) and use
a Sea and Sea Aquasun 800 for the light.

Any suggestions for inexpensive underwater video equipment? I'm only
interested in filming mooring chains (40 ft. depth max) and boat bottoms,
generally in low visibility waters.

Thanks for any help!
