Ziploc bags are magical pieces of plastic that you can use to seal up shit for your freezer. One of their many wonderous properties, are totally watertight. They’re see-through as well, and the plastic is quite thin. You can get them at any supermarket for about two quid. So, basically:
Step 1: Put camera in ziploc bag
Step 2: Try and get all the air out of the ziploc bag
Step 3: Seal ziploc bag
Step 4: Take photos underwater
Now you’ve just got to work out what camera to use. Do you know about the Holga? Course you do, every A-level photography student with a flickr and a nose ring has one. They’re made from plastic which means they float so you can chuck it in the pool. You can use any camera, but don’t blame me when the 500 quid DSLR monster your daddy gave you is underwater and the bag breaks, electrocuting you and your family/loved ones. it’s dark underwater so buy 400 speed film to get the job done.
