Many adventure vacations take place on or in the water, so be prepared to capture every moment with an underwater housing.

If you are considering underwater photography then start simple and get yourself a quality housing for a small compact camera first. Ikelite makes fantastic housing that won’t break your budget. The ultra compact Powershot S90 is a 10 megapixel slim and light beauty from Canon. The Ikelite housing is depth rated to 200ft, provides access to all camera controls except the rear dial, and has an easy open latch. Simply drop in your S90, check the seal, latch it closed and you are ready to go. Included in the package is a flash diffuser that improves lighting quality when you use the built in flash.

The first thing you will want to do is upgrade from the built-in flash. With Ikelite’s system you can simply add an Autoflash AF35 kit that includes everything you need to add the strobe to your S90 housing.

The Ikelite Housing for the S90 retails for $325. Check out the amazing pictures that the S90 is capable of taking on the Ikelite product blog here.
