EUWA Marine was around $150-170. I never got water inside down to 5 meters deep.
Doesn't look like a professional UW case but will be the best choice for lakes/
streams creeks. You can even take split images, hals underwater half above
water...it look very neat. EUWA was used to sell also UW cases for cameras in the
same price range. Imagine about shooting some Fuji color slides of some breeding
darters in their natural habitat!!!
