5.0 out of 5 stars Worked fine for me!, December 2, 2006

I purchased this housing for the Olympus d-560 for a dive trip to St. Croix. It worked just fine. It never leaked and took wonderful pictures an a lot of below 100' dives. A lot better than any disposable camera would do. I just suggest getting to know the buttons on the camera and with the housing on before use. It worked well for me! Will be using it again soon!

1.0 out of 5 stars Reflects back under water!, July 25, 2007

I bought this housing to use in the Florida Keys. The camera's screen is too small to see anything underwater, and to make it worse the camera housing is reflective so you can't even see the screen! My camera almost over heated in the housing after about 15 minutes! I also found water droplets in the housing after use. If you don't go diving that much stick to disposables, or buy a camera that is built for underwater.
