The Canon IXUS has a Canon-made housing which works to 30 metres (100 feet) and the Ikelite housing for the Nikon is good to 60 metres (180 feet). I definitely recommend both housings, although the Ikelite is expensive and bulky and needs an external strobe, while the Canon housing is pretty cheap and compact.

I have to confess I did zap the photos with the "Auto Colours" button in Macromedia Fireworks, and it is quite staggering how much it enhances the photo. Taking pix underwater is really tricky and I've got a lot more to learn, but it's a lot of fun too... Thanks Nath!

Especially the first one. I just love those snakes, the colours are simply beautiful. And, yes, the philippines is a fantastic place to catch an eyeful of them. Can't wait to hear more about the diving at Leyte - Nath Fantastic photos, Chris. Especially the first one.
