My $.02 is don’t spend the money on a waterproof pouch that can only go to 30 feet. You will go deeper than that. It’s inevitable in this sport. You can’t go wrong with and Ikelite housing. Just make sure this is the camera you want for underwater photography. Your housing will probably not work for your next camera. Does it have an underwater mode? Does it have short or no shutter lag so you don’t miss the shot of the sealion swimming by? Is you camera at least 5-7 megapixel to get decent resolution? If not, you may consider buying another camera with their own house, such as Canon or Olympus. You can probably get a whole camera with housing for a similar cost to the Ikelite housing you are considering. My canon camera cost around $200 and the canon underwater housing cost an additional $140. Hope this helps.
