By Jason Gluckman, Fri Dec 9th

If you are buying a new underwater camera or video camera, youwill need an underwater camera case. And this case needs to bewatertight, airtight, dustproof, crush resistant and designed tokeep your valuable equipment safe from all the elements. It mayalso be rustproof, pest-proof, and chemical resistant to oils,fuels and solvents. It may have flame retardant included and bemolded with a UV stabilizer, making it ultraviolet resistant.(This will prevent the plastic from becoming brittle if left inthe sun for extended periods of time.)

Some of the best cases are subjected to a 24 hour submersiontests, manufactured to exceed of 400 lbs of stacking, and a droptest at 48 inches. Some have a "pressure release purge valve"that guarantees a perfect seal by incorporating its own O-Ringunder one of the latches. And you will never forget to set thevalve since

it automatically activates when closing the case.Pressure is released as you open the latch. Removable Accuformfoam may be included with your underwater camera case. This isvertically pre-scored, high-density foam that is easily formedto provide a snug fit to protect your equipment from the abuseof your toughest adventure.
