Depends how far down you want to go? We've used Aquariums to house the camera. Note the 20% magnification underwater.

There are some soft plastic cases made for bigger cameras, fairly decent priced and can be used in pools.

Have a look at the ewa-marine A-BM2 on their home page.
It's custom made for the Blackmagic Ursa Mini.

Thanks, Marcel and Chris. I've sent a note off to ewa-marine about availability of purchasing housing and raincover for my SLR Magic APO primes and the Fujinon Cine Zoom. The APO primes are not a problem as they are smaller than the maximum spec supported, but the Fujinon would need to be custom made.

How does the cooling of the camera work? Or are we assuming that if you stay under water, the water keeps the interior air cool enough?

Yes. Our ocean water is just a few degrees above 0 Celsius all year. Keeping warm is the issue!

I bought some underwater housing for the URSA Mini from Ewa-marine for a shoot. It worked well did a good job a 2mtr depths. I am actually selling it as I only bought it for the one shoot. Email me if your interested in buying it at less than cost. ilonasagar@gmail.com
