Ewa Marine

I am reaching out to see if anyone uses an Ewa Marine Camera Bag. My camera of choice is a Nikon D80. I am not looking to dive with this setup, just taking pictures at the beach and some snorkeling and surfing.

Responses, input and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Ewa makes an interesting product which should work for the activities you cited, but ask yourself a question: Are you certain that you won't want to dive with it in the future?

If that's a possibility, I would suggest looking into some of the more robust U/W scuba housings, which can also be used for those activities.

I had one of the Ewa bags several years ago. It worked OK at the surface. Even snorkeling though, if you submerge just a few feet the compression on the bag made it very awkward to manage the camera controls.
