|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Underwater Remotes Matt Kartozian, Photographer Scottsdale | AZ | USA | Posted: 7:41 PM on 10.14.09 ->> Has anyone here done an underwater remote, like in the pool at a swim meet? I'm curious to what sort of housing you used and how you connect remotes cables and suck to the camera when ts in a housing. Matt  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

SPL can build you a housing and also the cable needed. You can't use something like a Pocket Wizard because water will absorb the signal. One other option would be if your using a camera with a built in interval timer, such as most Nikon's would be simply to have the camera keep shooting at a fixed interval. Not really an option if you have to place it at the start of a meet due to battery power, but it would save you a lot of money.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
