How deep can a Canon Rebel XTi underwater world? What are some affordable housing units?
Hi, I’m on a trip in the coming months, where I will do to a certain plan diving. I was looking for a few units underwater housing for my Canon Rebel XTi, but many are so out of my price range. Does anyone know a trusted those that are relatively cheap, and how deep can I take my Canon? Does anyone have experience with the diving with this camera? Thank you!

If $1300 is out of your price range for a housing, keep in mind that you’ll need an u/w flash, too!
That’s about as cheap as it gets for an Ikelite housing.I didn’t want to risk my slr to the u/w environment, so I chose a cheaper option and am very happy with it. I bought an Olympus 12 Mpixel point & shoot (Stylus 8000), with housing, u/w flash, sync cord, memory cards for around $850. The pics are great! The camera itself is waterproof to 30ft, with the housing up to 130ft.
The 8000 has 3 white balance settings specifically set for u/w applications.

How deep you can go depends on the underwater housing not the XTI. Heres a cheap housing good to 155 feet deep
