After buying an underwater digital camera, I probably only started getting good shots after 30-40 frames. Shooting underwater is specific (waves, currents, immersion, etc.)
On a disposable camera, you do not see the result of your shooting, it may turn out that all the frames from it will go to the furnace ...
I would lean towards a digital camera, box or case

fotik buy in the next. year - (I liked the Canon PowerShot D10)
so this choice is for the first time

For the first time, buy a simple non-disposable film camera - it already comes in a box, it costs about $ 15-20 in Egi, how to bargain.
Film with a sensitivity of 200, buy at home, it's a little expensive there.
I agree with Phansoft - it's difficult to photograph. But I took pictures with it 4 times, and I want to admit that the first photos were super!

CASE!
On the covers there was a topic here look.
Don’t take shit in the form of D10 .... there are a lot of competitors under half a hundred pieces of underwater amphibians with FullHD and a whiter low price ...

Definitely cover and buy in Egypt (cheaper).

"buy in Egypt"
because of the cheapness, it can become a drowned person. The Egyptians sell cheap Chinese bags. You need to choose branded and reliable ones at HOME.

A friend bought a box from our hotel. The pictures and videos are cool. I bought it with my camera, but I also took pictures, although it was too big for mine. The difference with Moscow is about 1000 rubles. if you don’t take it, of course it’s expensive (does it make sense?)
аватар papa74
For China in Egypt, the price is $ 10-20 per bag.

We bought a cover in Moscow (850 rubles, dikpak or the like, I don’t remember the name exactly, in player.ru). In Sharm, they saw the same in stores, the price was not specified. My husband said that it's better to take pictures early in the morning, at 6 o'clock. Later, when the sun is shining, you can't see anything, you take pictures in the blind. The quality of the photo is average, but you can choose. And yet - after buying a cover, my husband made a ring out of foam rubber so that the moving lens would fit into this ring and not hang out.

The point is in glass, not polyethylene, through which the lens shoots ...

Filmed with both a disposable film and a digital compact in a case.
Definitely a cover!
Film disposable - one torment, it is inconvenient to watch, because in the mask, through a small window, what the hell will you catch in the frame, there are few frames on the film, moreover.
And when you print it, you will be very disappointed - the colors will be unnaturally gray-greenish, as if they were not taking pictures in the Red Sea, but in an underwater puddle.
Photos from a digital compact in a case cannot be compared with a disposable soap dish.
This is the quality I achieved using a digital compact underwater for the first time in my life:

You've got great photos! How to choose a cover? Or are they universal? What is their cost?
аватар Dreamer_0x01
The cover is very easy to choose.
1. Look for models that have your device on the list of compatible ones. List on the case packaging.
2. Put the device into the case and see if it feels good there - it does not warp, when you turn on the lens does not rest against the glass of the case, the edges of the camera do not interfere with the clasp, etc.
3. Do a test at home already - stuff the case with toilet paper, zip it up, put it in water and talk a little / remember (not much). Get it. dry, open. There should be no wet marks on the paper. After that, you can already carry out tests with a camera.

Compatibility chart for almost all DicaPac cameras and cases

In the case of my camera (fuji f31fd), this table turned out to be incorrect - both 110 and 310 models fit on it. But in fact, the device simply could not extend the lens when thrusting it into the 110 model - 2mm was not enough. But 310 came up.
Therefore, the cover must be measured.

Thank you so much for the tips and spreadsheet! How much does a cover like this cost? Where to buy it in Egypt?
аватар Dreamer_0x01
My case cost 1200 r in M-video.
аватар sasha1128
I bought a cover for 20 bolts - I probably took 400 photos of good quality - what I counted on, the main thing on the lens should be a solid cylindrical protrusion, I saw it completely from soft silicone.
аватар sasha1128
dived up to 10 meters - not a drop of water inside
аватар papa74
"on bolts" is this for ballast?
аватар Dreamer_0x01
"on bolts" - there is an assumption that this is the name of a district in St. Petersburg in slang.

As I could and called it, there are just weak clamps. When you choose, I hope you understand.
