Default underwater housing

Ever used one? I'd rate the closure on mine (triple-crimp clamp with
thumbscrews) as a good bit more secure than a zip-loc bag. And I hear
they've got close to zero risk of implosion, though I wouldn't know,
since I don't skindive that deep.

That said, they're not typically rated for as great a depth as Ikelite's.

I should note that there are hardshell brands other than Ikelite...
Sea & Sea, for one.
