Aquapack SLR Camera Case - Beware!

I just returned from Hawaii where the Aquapac SLR "100% Waterproof" Case flooded and destroyed my camera. The evidence suggests that Aquapac "waterproof" cases are meant for static use only, not active use in the ocean. I merely snorkeled and never had the case lower than 2 feet in the water. Aquapac refused to replace the case or camera. This is an expensive lesson divers and snorkelers should be aware of. Buy Ikelite or similar cases, do not risk your SLR with Aquapac.

This is my 8th year as a diver. My patch of underwater heaven is in Beautiful Moreton Bay and surrounding waters, including Curtin Artifical Reef, Flinders reef (Moreton Bay Marine Park), Hutchinson Shoal, Henderson's Reef, Megs Reef (Gotham City) and other amazing sites, too many to name.
