: Is there an inexpensive housing available to extend the depth range of a Canon aquasnappy? Are there any close-up lenses available (maybe third party)? The camera is fine for point and shoot snorkeling/scuba. Has never flooded even after being down below 90 ft. But will not function below about 60-70 ft. Too much pressure on the case to allow film to advance. Would like to stick with this camera, since it would be more tolerant of a flooded housing. Don't need pro camera, but would like to play with close-ups.

\I have always been afraid to take mine below 25-30', I think the as-6 is rated at 6 meters. I recently purchased a closeup set on ebay, if not there are always a couple complete sets available for not alot of money.
