Except for snorkeling, universal housing don't really exist. If the
manufacturer doesn' t make a housing. Likely one is not made. Nikon is the
best supported point and shoot with respect to 3rd party housings. My old
sony had a housing and now its been discountinued. When I bought my new HP,
I made sure I bought the housing. Even for above water use its nice to know
you can take it in the snow etc. without ruining it. Good luck

Check out the Ewa-Marine range of "baggies" - they are rated to 30m,
and despite looking like trash bags, are actually supposed to be quite
reliable.

Although look at warning from a previous poster here, the bags
allthough RATED at 30M, doesn't mena to say the camera will work at
that depth, apparently the bag can compress so much it will push the
buttons itself.

Get a camera and housing to match, I have a Fuji S20 Pro, but had to
buy a Sony DSC P-150 with housing, bith are 7 MPixel

Default help with picking underwater housings

I have a fujifilm finepic A 360 and I can't seem to be able to find an
underwater housing for it. Does any one know if theres a housing made
for it or know of a universal housing that will fit it?
