   Took it on two 90-foot dives at Farnsworth Banks off Catalina Island. Worked great! I definitely recommend to READ THE DIRECTIONS for all details, especially 1. lubricating the gasket with provided silicone grease, 2. proper care, and 3. that you CAN change modes (underwater vs. beach) by holding down the print button and press left and right.

   This WD-DC24 replaces a Canon WD-DC80 that went with the SD550, but it’s so nice that this DC24 is even thinner, possible by the yet-thinner SD790IS. The 790’s more sensitive sensor made several shots not possible with older cameras, while the DC24 kept a those atmospheres of water pressure out. Of course treat it gently and clean it right with freshwater per instructions and it’ll help you get those shots. I also store leftover desiccant (from other electronic shipments) inside it when not in use to keep the innards dry.

   Received the case promptly and functioned perfectly right out of the box. Make sure you READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, including how to lube up the gasket with provided silicone grease. There is an optional weight that can be attached. While it’s probably a good idea to buy and use this, it’s not absolutely necessary, but the camera/case will float when under water.

   The only small caveat is that you can’t change the SCN mode while in the case (no way to use the wheel) so make sure you set it on “underwater” before you place it in the case.
