Underwaterphotography is not just for expert divers anymore. More and more manufacturers are including a waterproof model in their range, like the Canon Powershot D10 for example.

Does that mean you’ll need to get rid of your trustworthy Canon Powershot SD1200 IS if you want to get wet? Absolutely not!

There are plenty of Canon Powershot SD1200 accessories that can help you investigate the deep blue sea.

Depending on how serious you are about swimming/diving, you have two options; a flexible case or a hard plastic case.

Less Than 16ft/5m Deep
For snorkling and swimming pool fun the flexible Canon Powershot SD1200 IS waterproof case will do the trick. The case looks a bit like a Ziploc bag, but don’t let that fool you.

It has a special UV coated polycarbonate lens to ensure your pictures are extra clear.

The waterproof case floats, so you won’t have to keep a death grip on your camera out of fear that it’ll end up at the bottom of the ocean.

Underwater mode and built-in flash

The Canon WP-DC29 waterproof case for the Powershot SD1200 IS is a lot more expensive than the above solution. But you will need something more sturdy to withstand the water pressure if you dive deeper than 16ft/5m.

You can even add an external water-resistant power pack.

Not only is the difference in price significant, there’s a size difference as well. You’ll want to take this into consideration as well as the Canon WP-DC29 waterproof case will take up quite a bit of space in your luggage.
