Step 2Finding a watertight case
The most important thing about this project, is that you keep everything watertight! Water almost gets through everything...but if there's one thing you don't want, it is your expensive videocamera getting wet!
So you can search around the house for watertight cases or boxes. It won't be easy because many things loose their watertightness when they're opened. And don't forget you need an opening in the case where you can take the camera in and out. So you need something with a large opening that can be closed really tight!
For this instructable, I used a case that people normally use to keep dogfood in. In this instructable I'm just expecting you to have found a case that looks like this one and has the same capacities, so that I can tell how to make an underwater camera housing out of this case.
If you find a possible watertight case or box...make sure you test it properly, in a bucket of water for example!
