TO: ALL Bonica's Fans This Shark Picture makes Great "Wall Paper" free to copy!
Hi Michael, I have finally had the opportunity to dive with my camera and new Bonica strobe. The dive was on an A1 (Phoenix) Mulberry Harbour Unit that was damaged before the D-Day landings and therefore never made it across the English Channel. It was used for bombing practice in 1945 and is therefore very broken up, but it is a mass of marine life. I have included a couple of pictures taken with my new Bonica Strobe which you are more than welcome to put in your gallery if you think they are good enough.
Great protection for the price!By Heather Mfrom Provo, UTon 7/10/2007
Pros: Easily Loaded Equipment, Lightweight, Seals Easily, Strong Construction
Best Uses: Waterproofing Cameras
Describe Yourself: Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The first time I used this product was at a waterpark with two children. Once I got over the anxiety of putting my digital camera in the water, it was a blast. It is SUPER easy to install. The view finder is great, you can see ever detail. The pictures were great as well. The underwater pictures weren't as high of quality (I think it was the water) but they were still really good and a little touch up in post made them great photos. I would recommend this product to someone who wants to waterproof their camera for recreational purposes. It was nice to have a quality camera in the water and take photos of the action going on in the water. I can't wait to take this on my next kayaking trip. I won't have to lug around one of the big square waterproof boxes. Woohoo!

Some of you might already have a digital camera that you want to use underwater, or maybe just around water, say on a boat or in the shower (hey, there's no accounting for taste).
Take a look at Bonica's line of dirt cheap Snapper Suit silicon enclosures. They protect your camera from moisture using a completely water-tight silicone skin around the camera. They're rated for depths up to 12 feet. Each enclosure costs about $33 and there are models for six brands of camera, including Nikon Coolpix, Canon PowerShot, and Sony Cyber-shot.

Everybody meet Pat who is our Bonica Representative for Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. He posed with Mr. Shark to advertise our new Snapper DV. All the dive shops in his territory always places orders after Pat shows them his self-portrait.
