Would you trust a $73 bag of plastic to protect your camera? Here are your choices!

The depth you can dive to depends on your age and qualification - how deep do you expect to dive?

This question is best asked in the diving forums. You need someone with actual experience.

Once you get the expensive housing, you'll need external light. Good setups have 2 strobes mounted on booms to offset them from the camera. Make sure your housing supports the electrical connections to the strobes. Underwater photography can get expensive.

You don't state a budget. An underwater housing for the D3100 costs between $700 to about $1,000.

Then you will need at least to underwater strobes.

Here's a link to B&H where they sell all of the underwater gear on the market:

B&H and other stores such as adorama.com are real camera stores out in New York. They serve amateurs and top pros alike and have highly-trained staff to answer your questions and provide the best photographic solutions. Call B&H or Adorama and speak with a pro.
