Just wondering if anyone has used a product called Aquapac to put their digital cameras in so they can use it underwater or at waterparks, cruises, etc? I guess it's a waterproof bag to put your camera in. I'm wondering how reliable it is and how well the pictures come out.
We're heading to Disney is just 26 days and going on a Disney cruise this coming April and I would love to bring my digital camera to the beaches etc. Last year we went on a cruise and brought a disposable waterproof camera and the pictures sucked.
Any advice? here's the link I found http://www.aquapac.net/usstore/erol.html#588X1097

I am considering the same case. I have not used one, but talked to someone in the lazy river at a waterpark who had one. He was pleased with his results.
I have two other Aquapacs to carry our park tickets, credit card, cash, etc. that we have used for the past 5 years and have had great results, so I'm hoping for the same result with the camera case.

We also have had good Aquapac luck with the pocket sized ones but I'd still be afraid to use it because our luck is not all that great.
Looking at it, there are a lot of -sorry no fit's- in the size guide aren't there?

Talk about timing. I received an Aquapac promotion e-mail for Father's Day. If you spend $30, they will give you a Keymaster pouch for free. Promo code is "fathersday".
HTH,

If anyone wants the info PM me, I bought a Drypak from a seller on ebay for $16 shipped and I've used them before (Drypak) and loved it, could not tell the camera was inside a package.
The seller was great, when mine arrived it had a pin hole, they sent me a new one the same day Priority mail.
The camera pack was $10, shipping was $6.
I order Sat, came on Monday. If you google DryPak you'll see them. It fits my Kodak Z760 with the lens zoomed all the way out and still has some room and the Z760 is rather bulky.

You may notice some of the pictures have a little smudge on them, it's not the pack but rather my lens, didn't notice the big fingerprint on it till after we got out of the water.... :rolleyes1
