Underwater Camera

I have just finished making my first underwater camera! I haven't tested it yet, however I tested it before my modifications and it had a small leak. So fingers crossed when the silicone dry's it will work!


Here is how I made it for £3.50:

First of all I bought a round Tupperware style plastic container. Which cost me £0.50

Then I cut a hole out of the top using a Stanley knife.

I had earlier had a piece of perspex cut out at school

I fixed the perspex circle to where I had cut the hole out with a clear silicon. This is the same silicon used on general bathroom objects making it water tight. Hence the choice in material. Silicon £3

This is what the base looks like after it has been fitted.

 I then created a seal at the screw thread on top, so that when I screw it in place no water gets in through the joint.

Here is a test showing the difference in plastics and the reason I cut into the front:

This is the original plastic material, as you can see its frosted as its a very cheap plastic.

 Now as you can see the perspex is a lot clearer than the original.

Soon to upload some test :)
