I used this case in the Bahamas recently and didn't have a bit of problem. I took it down with a paper towel inserted just in case it leaked. When I finished my dive the paper towel was dry and I inserted my camera. I took it along on my next dive and have some great pictures. I did lose my first set of weights. However, that was because I didn't tighten the screw with a screwdriver. The next set was properly tightened and stayed on the camera case.

I purchased my Canon camera with the intetion of buying the waterproof case, we do a lot kayaking and snorkeling and now diving. The case was GREAT !!! We just got back from Jamaica and being able to take these wonderful pictures and have them in the quality of a digital camera and not that of a disposable was fantastic. Also being able to download our pics every night and look at them was pricless.
We went to Dunns River Falls and I was taking shot after shot while the other people without a case could only look on as I captured everything.
On my dive ( my first ) I got many beautiful shots even though I was really more concerned about making sure that I kept breathing. :)
I even had some other divers approach me under water and ask me to get a shot of them !!!
The controls are well placed and easy to use, the hood for the LCD is great, well worth the money.

Very best cohice for underwater photograpy with canon a540 digital camera
I'm tested 30 m deep and no problem.

I purchased this case a month ago and have used it several times in salt water. The case allows you to make all the same adjustments underwater that you would without the case. The only problem I have run into is that you must be familiar with the camera as the camera's buttons/settings are difficult to see through the case. The view window and lens window are crystal clear. There does not appear to be any rust on the few stainless steel parts of this case. I have not tested this item to a depth greater than 5ft but the seal and case appear to be sufficient for the advertised depths. Only suggestion I have for any future consumers is to buy silica gel packets to put inside the camera case during use. If it is humid outside when you seal the case and the temperature in the case gets hot enough you can begin to see moisture accumulate on the interior surfaces. Overall, a great product albeit a little expensive.

This is an easy case to use. The only deficiency it has is shared with most other waterproof cases: there is no pressure release to make opening the case easy under all temperature conditions.
Other than that, we are happy with the two of these that I purchased.
