Casing for Panasonic LX3

[Kc007]

Hello guys...I just picked up diving & would like to get an underwater casing for my Panasonic LX3...any idea if there is any available & where I can buy it from? Thanks!

The only housings available for the LX3 are pretty high end aluminium ones from 10 Bar and UK-Germany. Think there was another japanese housing but can't remember the name.

You should also look at getting a strobe or two... and boy those aren't cheap either. (Factor in all the accessories/attachments... )

well a cheap p&s camera and housing now should be available for $600-$800 easily esp the lower end ones.
