    Nikon AW100 Housing

    I'm looking for Nikon AW100 underwater housing so I can bring the camera scuba diving deeper than 33 feet.

    Do you know where I can get one?

    Thanks in advance,

    Geo

    It appears that Ikelite is NOT going to be making a housing for it. I doubt that Nikon will since it is designed as a waterproof camera already...not looking very promising unless Fantasea does one. Fantasea does house a lot of the smaller Nikon digicams, I would suggest contacting them.

    I already did, unfortunately there are no plans on making a housing for this camera at this time. They might make one for the next generation.

    There's a universal housing for internal focusing point and shoot cameras, the Bonica
    Sea-shell SS-2, but so far they haven't listed your model as fitting. They may not have tried yet, though.

    You can produce some great footage with this camera even in shallow depths!
    Check our video produced with this camera - Nikon Coolpix AW100 Holiday in the Red Sea with Fantasea Line - YouTube
    Fantasea will soon be offering color correction filters for this camera, so vivid images and videos can be easily produced underwater...

    Larry C: I got my local dive shop to bring in SS-2 but it did not fit. The top of the lens port and the locking mechanism for the battery compartment sticks out.

    I run a basic google search for nikon aw100 underwater case and a couple of pages into the googles of results i found this: New Nikon Coolpix AW100 Uw Housing

    You owe me big time,

    I think i am gonna get that setup, i do quite a lot of outdoor activities and diving, and so that little camera is compact and with the uw case sounds like the complete package...

    Let's see how ordering from Italy works...

    If you get a Nimar, make sure you dive it empty before you put the camera in it. I've never had one, but there have been many posts on this forum describing leaky Nimar housings. If you put a 1lb. softweight wrapped in soft cloth in side, it should approximate the weight of a camera. Here's a link to previous thread.

    I know about that one but Nimar USA does not carry it due to legal issues, only Nimar Italy has it. Also, the price is double than what I paid for my camera. I did contacted Nimar Italy about shipping the item to me but due to the legal issues they are not able to ship it to Canada and the USA.
