How to Make Underwater Cameras

Would you like to take pictures underwater? You can purchase disposable cameras that are sold with waterproof cases or you can make your own waterproof casing for your own camera. Whether you have a digital camera or a 35mm, with a zoom lens or without, you can create a casing to protect it from moisture. These instructions will show you how to waterproof your camera using household items.

Things You'll Need

• 2 non-lubricated condoms
• Scissors
• Desiccant package
• Paper towel roll
• Super glue

Instructions

1. Hold the paper towel roll against the side of your camera's lens. On the paper towel roll, mark the length of the lens when completely extended. Cut the roll so that it can be placed over the lens, creating a protective casing. Place this over the camera's lens.

2. Stretch one condom carefully over the camera. Insert the desiccant package to ensure that moisture will be absorbed. Tie the end of the condom, as you would tie a balloon.

3. Apply super glue to the knot. This will guarantee no water or air will seep in through the knot.

4. Place the second condom over the camera. This time, insert the camera into the condom with the knot to the inside of the condom. Tie a knot as you did before. There should be two knots on both sides of the camera, however, one of the knots will be on the inside of the second condom.

5. Apply super glue to the second knot to ensure your camera is watertight. You can now take pictures with your own camera underwater.
