Fantasea Line has announced underwater housings for the Nikon Coolpix 8700 and 8800 models. The CP-8 and CP-8N can keep your Coolpix 8700/8800 dry and operable down to 300 feet below the surface. The injection-molded housings are designed with an air lock and O-ring system to increase the reliability of the watertight seal. You can control most camera functions through the housing, and the housings feature a Nikonos 5 pin socket for hot shoe connection for external flash.
Should the housings fail, each housing comes with a one-year pre-paid flood insurance policy from D.E.P.P. The CP-8 and CP-8N will sell for $800 each.
