Also, there were a limited number of underwater-only film cameras. But with the advent of digital cameras and ready-made casings for them, scuba photography has become a much more affordable pursuit. For instance, the 5 Megapixel Olympus C-5060 digital camera and its casing (that we used during a hands-on workshop conducted by Olympus Malaysia at Berjaya Redang Beach Resort in October) costs under RM4,000."</i><br /><br />If you are thinking about going scuba diving and taking photos, this article from the Star Online is worth reading. I just learned that touching the coral is very, very bad idea when doing some diving. Practically as bad as touching a Ming dynasty vase in a museum. :mrgreen:
