Awesome housing

Submitted by rakay on 02/15/2013

I bought this housing last year (2012). This is the 3d camera systems I have had over the years.
Due to the restrictive weight limits on airlines now, I choose not to use a DSLR system.
This housing is easy to use. The shutter speed and aperture are easily changed with the external dial controls on the housing. It is crucial to be able to quickly change these two settings at a moment notice. This has been the best system to date for changing these settings.

I am using external strobes and the Dyron +7 macro lens. I mostly shoot macro.
The housing is a bit pricey as compared to Canon or Ikelite housings (I have had 2 ikelite systems previously) but well worth the extra money if you are serious about your underwater photography.

The only negative is there is not enough room in the housing to place a moisture muncher. I make sure I load the housing in the cool A/C in the room and close it. Since I have been doing that, I have not had any fogging issues and it has been on 8 weeks of diving so far.

I highly recommend this housing.

Scott was great. He helped me purchase all the proper and necessary accessories for the Recsea so I could continue to use my Ikelite strobes with it.

Best Compact Housing

Submitted by gjm975pd on 11/07/2012

Before my recent vacation to the Caribbean, I had decided to upgrade my Canon compact and purchase the Canon S100. Needing a functional housing to utilize all the cameras controls and having the ability to add wide angle and macro lenses I went to the Bluewater Photostore website. After seeing the product video for the Recsea S100 housing, and looking at other housings, I decided Recsea was the way to go. I ordered it, along with the YS-D1 strobe package, and it was promptly delivered.
Using the housing was a pleasure. It really felt like you were holding a solid, well made piece of equipment. All the controls worked flawlessly. I especially liked the front and rear control dials, making quick adjustments possible.
If you are looking for a functional, well made compact housing, look no further, you won't be sorry.

Definitely happy with the upgrade.

I'm one of the many who upgraded from the Ikelite and am very glad I did. Overall quality and function is much better. Don't have to worry about the buttons not lining up or having to break your fingers to press them. Only rated 4 instead of 5 stars because of the price tag. Is it > 2x better than the Ikelite? Maybe not. Either way it's a big purchase so rather have something I'm going to be happy with and will last forever.

Great Housing Unit

Submitted by GBdivers on 09/03/2012

1st: I have to say that the customer service at BlueWater photo is absolutely EXCELLENT: I live in NY City and was very hesitant in buying a product over the internet, sight/feel unseen. So I tested a few vendors out with some general questions and BlueWater was consistently the most responsive. They listen to your needs, have patience in answering all your questions, and are extremely friendly.

2nd: my requirements were very precise. I wanted a Camera unit that took great macro shots and was light weight. BlueWater gave me a couple of options and i finally selected the Canon S100, Recsea housing unit, Dyron Macro 67mm leans, and the YS01 strobe. Wow! what a great package.
- The camera takes incredible photos, is not complicated like a SLR, and is very easy to use.
- The Recsea is a dream: it has a perfect seal, and it's controls are very easy to manipulate underwater.
- YS01strobe: lots of power and brings out all the colors

Overall: we all have different needs and wants. Go with the expertise and recommendations from BlueWater.

Conclusion: I don't have the patience to manipulate my photos with Photoshop/Aperture so my goal is to take the best possible photo when I'm underwater. And thanks to BlueWater, I finally found the perfect unit.
