Anyone have an underwater housing for their camera?

How was shooting with it underwater? Any pix you can post?

I'm *thinking* about hunting down a housing for the S3.. but it seems like that feature wouldn't take very decent photos and so if it's not worth it- i don't want to spend the dough. I'd rather get a CP or something else at that point.

Thanks!

My wife dropped her Powershot A530 into the creek below a waterfall at Agawa Canyon in Canada. That count?



Amazingly it survived the 8+ foot fall on the rocks and being fully submerged for at least a minute until I could get to it. Took the batteries and the SD card out, let it dry out for a few days, put new batteries and the SD card back in.......turned it on....held my breath....IT'S ALIVE!!!! Still taking pictures to this day. Dented and scratched all the hell, but it works fine.

That tough little SOB needs to be in a Canon commercial.
