I have just had a Canon 1DMk111 written off as having “severe external signs of corrosion and faulty electronics. It will exceed reasonable cost to repair ” and I would use the bag to prevent this from ever happening again!
Exploring the stunning & magical waterfalls of the Overberg – Bear Grylls style! 🙂
I have ideas for stunning underwater images of brides and models. Also an avid surf photographer, I would love to venture IN the water with them and not just from the shore. So this piece of kit would really help me step up my game!
I scuba dive and I’m planning a long awaited trip to Mozambique soon, and this will mean I can take my DSLR with me.
In the shower!
I would use my DiCAPac waterproof case right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp_snRPvt4E . Its super shallow and super clean water just 60km from Cape Point!!!!
I would use it to shoot fashion underwater.
I would spice up my pool party videos with this fantastic piece of gear!
IN MY BATHTUB!
At Cape Point. at the wrecks.
SHeeez what wouldnt I use it for… Shoot a lot of sport with my Canon 7D, in the rain, mud and dust. Get some water shots of Surfers, Use it while snorkelling. Use it at splashy Fen for some water shots of festival goers in the river. Perhaps throw is some underwater fashion photography. Some Artistic shots of waves or some different waterfall angles
I’d use it in the sea and in the rain 🙂
Many a underwater shoot, in my fine art work, and at all the dirty music festivals 🙂
Joh, Imagine the awesome portrait and landscape work I can do while working submerged under water! Would love to use the DiCAPac all over the Garden Route coastline, swimming pools and everything water.
I would use it to take photos of horses swimming – be great for rainy days on the farm too 🙂
Been wanting one of these for a long time , would use it the ocean for my surfing days, in winter for the stormy raining weddings , sports events so many places , take it with me to japan if i go again 🙂
Start using it for snorkelling and a bit of basic free diving , use it at festivals (like the recent Holi Festival in Cape Town). Take some awesome photo’s in the rain – people rushing to work, kids playing, take photo’s outdoors of the lightning.
ill use it with my new 5d mk 3 and explore the world underwater instead of the big 5 🙂
I wud definitely use the Supa Awesum DiCAPac with my camera Snap pics under the sea and xplore the beauty under water.Snap all the Beautifull sea creatures and Splish splash pics in the rain any where 😀
I shoot a lot in the outdoors and have been wanting to start doing surf/ocean photography for a long time… but not from the shore! I want to be thick in the surf and maybe the DiCaPac WP-S5 will help get me there, as underwater housings are waaaay outta my price range at the moment 😉
Sjoe!!! Anywhere where there’s water!! 🙂
I would use the DiCAPac WP-S5 on my 50D in Thailand at the end of the year.
It would be a perfect fix for my fascination with Cape Town’s winter, allowing me complete freedom to get the picture i want without worrying about getting my camera wet!!! 🙂
I would use the DiCAPac for surfing/bodyboarding photos.
there’s a little known cove up the west coast, full of ray’s and sand shark. That’s were I want to use it.
I will use the DiCAPac to shoot Warrior Races where there is a lot of water, mud and dust and shoot some artistic shots of waves.
I would use this amazing underwater case in the ocean & under waterfalls. It would be fun in the rain & in a river. I want to photograph our beautiful & incredible environment in South Africa, to showcase & highlight how we need to protect and love our planet & all its creatures.
i would use it to shoot people and friends surfing and support local magazines with interesting angles and shots, i would use the DicaPac EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I would definitely make a awesome music video with my friends. Perhaps go to the see, maybe even explore some underwater caves in the mountains of the Ceres valley. I will definitely post the music video on your facebook page once I have all the shots. I even have a great band in mind,, but I probably need the underwater case first 🙁
P.S. I don’t break my promises
If I were to win this awesome prize, I would finally be able to do something I have always wanted to photograph. With this pack, I would then be able to swin into the middle of a waterhole and capture all the wild animals and water level!
documenting the explorations of aquaman
If I were lucky enough to win a DiCaPac with my 5D m3 I would use it for multiple things but specifically I would like to use it for an up and coming adventure to Dubai to shoot with a very well known South African photographer and shoot all the underwater structures that have been built there. It would be incredibly interesting to record the damage/erosion etc that is going on underwater. Everyone sees and celebrates these massive structures, not many consider what’s going on underneath water level.
The question should be…where wouldnt I use it! Planning a trip overseas soon…would be the perfect addition to my travel pack!
I’ll use it to take photos in the pool for interesting portraiture, as well as in the sea while I dive!
I would capture horizons, the ocean dividing the image. Half above sea level, half below sea level.
I would use it with my 7D to do magical videos under the sea.. stick in the water while racing in a catamarans of the coast of Cape Town..go surfing with the best surfers off the Kom to capture their radical stunts..Kite surfing with the best… what wouldnt we do 🙂
Orange river rafting, zambezi white waters, KZN coastline….
I would Photograph some underwater snorkeling. 🙂
I’d use it underwater 🙂
At the beach, shooting surfing!
I would use it for interesting portraiture
I’d make use of the DiCAPac Underwater Case as part of my DSLR filmmaking kit for shooting both underwater & in wet weather conditions.
I would use it taking photos of deep-sea anglers
Having a DiCAPac would be incredible. I would use it for surfing photography, interesting portraits, underwater landscapes and maybe even some creative rain shots. 🙂
Busy sorting gear to shoot the Absa Cape Epic for Ride magazine. This would be an ideal addition to the bag – have always wanted to shoot the river crossings from below the surface
It would join me on my 5 month adventure through South East Asia during the rainy season starting May 2013! Probably get splashed by motor bikes in Bangkok, Doused on the speedboat ferry between Siem Reab and Phnom-Penh in Cambodia and help catch a unique moment of kids trying to balance umbrellas on motorbike seats in the rain, in Laos!! Oh and it will totally go for dive in the Gulf of Thailand ^_^
-Chris Cunnington
I’d use the case to photograph the amazing sealife that live off the coast of Africa , but are rarely seen by most who live here .
Number of different situations, naturally to shoot sports like surfing and bodyboarding, but i would also make use of a something like this when covering muddy mountain bike events in the winter or photos in the rain of my daughter. The options are endless. Think about dusty sandunes in Namibia or Kloofing or snowboarding, basically its lightweight and not bulky like a SPL housing and can be transported in your bag very easily, thus making it a perfect accessory for any adventure photographer. The End.
There so many times that I’ve wanted to shoot in the hard thunder shower. The DiCAPac WP-S5 will make this a possibility and widen my playing field when shooting.
I would use it to capture images undersea when I go scuba diving or bodyboarding. It would prove VERY handy if I won it before I went to Zanzibar <3
I would use it to take photos of the sea life in the rockpools along the Tsitsikamma coast with my macro lens.
I would use it for when I go diving and for photo shoots in the rain !!
For creative outdoor shots in the coming Cape Town rain!
In the Zambezi River filming one of South Africans best bodyboarders, on the only free standing barreling wave in the world. Africa for the win!!!!
I would love to use it For my dream underwater photo shoot in a pool & shooting in the rain
Although most people think this case would be good for water, I think it would also be the perfect companion to my media pass for the JHB Holi One festival.. I would still definitely get it wet when the time is right!
Holding thumbs*
I would use it to capture those family moments in the sun on the beach or by the pool, and outdoors in the rain. I love a heavy rain and would have a lot of fun exploring my creativity in the rain
I’ll use it for an underwater performance music video. Yeah, the cymbal crashes are going to be awesome! 🙂
first pic will probably be of my toes in a bathtub hahaha, thereafter, ocean !
Shot’s in the rain, gotta love cape town weather
I’d go to the pool to shoot a series of fashion portraits underwater!
I’d use it EVERYWHERE! In in the rain. In the ocean. In the dust. In the pool. At the camp. At Holi One. EVERYWHERE.
a high fasion shoot in the sea and pool
Ooooo! Just imagine where I could go with this to protect my camera – whoop whoop!!
At the sea, to take pictures of fishies, coral, and sealife. On the river so I don’t mind if I fall out the canoe. While hiking on the mountains, hell it would be a novelty taking it out whenever it rained
I would use it in the surf at Llandudno beach!
it’s a good thing to have in the desert dust here in namibia!
I love taking underwater pics at Kosibay with my Nikon S30… Just imagine if I could take my DSLR into the Kosibay waters!
I’d use it to photograph kloofing trips! Need to still figure out the jumping bit.
Off the coast of Inhambane where I’m going later this year. Or simply at Durban’s North Beach…
rehana seedat email: dseedat@telkomsa.net I would use this amazing underwater case in the ocean & under waterfalls. It would be fun in the rain & in a river. Tweeted this giveaway as well @online61524

I would use my DiCAPac in the rain whilst singing……”I’m shoooooting in the rain, just shooooooting in the rain, what a glorious feeeeeling, I’m shoooooting outside….”
wrecked a lens before getting it wet. . . this would come in handy
I would use my DiCAPac in the swimming pool or the ocean
When I go on holiday to Hermanus. Would love to do Shark diving and keep the memories on my camera and this bag would be awesome
The question is, where WOULDN’T I use my DiCAPac? I’ve been looking for a cheaper solution to the Underwater casing for the 7D that costs more than the camera itself for a while. What I’d use it for is that PERFECT lightning shot, those action shots of people running in the rain (almost buggered my camera up shooting the Red Bull Lion Heart last year), those perfect wave shots of surfers getting their last waves in during sunsets in Camps Bay and then of course, I want to get that crystal clear shot of a Great White Shark when I go cage diving! Needless to say, the DiCAPac will be used any chance I get!!
Use it to photograph some great surfing!!
I’d love to use it for kloofing.
Living in the cape I would definately use it when snorkling at fishhoek beach, obviously looking out for those sharks. Being able to extend my repour would be awesome.
I would use mine during Equine show shoots – it is always dusty and often rainy! Never would I need to pull a jiffy bag over my camera again!
I would use my DiCAPac to add the water dynamic and finally complete the Bodyboarding film i am busy with. You cant have a movie without the water angle.
I’ve had a couple of near accidents when shooting long exposure photo’s along the coast. This case will give me some peace of mind next time I nearly fall into a rock pool with my camera…
I’d use it to get some epic shots of my little bro training for SA Nationals in swimming!
Had to photograph a paintball tournament in the rain a few weeks ago – would’ve have loved to have had this guy then! I’m backpacking and sailing around Croatia in June/July – a waterproof case would mean I could be more adventurous with my camera!
Aahh, I’ve had my “eye” on a DiCAPac for a few months now! Need it for a underwater story shoot idea I have.
I WILL use my DICApac Anywhere…i wouldn’t be able to stop myself cos im anywhere and everywhere
I would use it from the dusty roads of Namibia to commercial advertising shoot in the middle of the atlantic ocean. you can never be to careful with the protection of your best friend. and now you can take your best friend everywhere with you!
With my nickname, Aqua_Soul, where would I not be using my DiCAPac would be the question! 😉
Anywhere it’s wet really – a R1.5k> solution that’s more durable and easier to use than a ziploc bag would be great until I can someday afford a weather-sealed body and lenses 😀
I would love to use the DICAPac WP-S10 to capture some awesome surfing & bodyboarding shots with my 7D!
What an awesome prize, I would use it to film & shoot one of my Robben Island to Big Bay swims. It would be perfect for shooting my brother skim boarding as well as my 3yo swimming.
I’d have no more hesitations about shooting in the dust, in the sea, on the rocks and in the rain! How wonderful!
I would use the case for protection from dust and rain on architecture, landscape and long-exposure night shoots. Looks great!
We’re a water loving outdoors family & having a busy little toddler my camera def needs protection from all sorts of (water) sources – the hosepipe, blow up baby pool, swimming pool, rivers, sea & sand and messy little fingers 😉 But what better way to capture all these precious family moments!! So random.org, please pick me!
I would love to take my photography even further by taking photos under water and in the rain! Winter will be like summer with the DiCAPac!
Oh wow! I would probably use it in my swimming pool first. It takes quite a lot to trust your dslr in a watery situation, I have a friend that uses his at the tidal pool at St James – that would be the second step – I think thereafter the possibilities are endless!
I would use the DiCAPac out in the rain and definitely for some underwater swimming pool shoots!
Would be perfect for my dive/snorkeling missions, better yet a few pics while I’m falling all over the place on/off my skimboard!! Sick giveaway!!!
From the snow in the Karoo winter to the waves at SA surfing competitions!
Will take a thousand underwater portraits to say magnificent in more than a thousand words.
Whenever I do some diving, preferrably before going to the gold coast.
On rainy days and in the local ponds to capture some unseen treasures or some unwished horrors!
I’ll definitely go and play in the ocean with it.
Making ocean conservation films for the NPO I work for!
I am fan and following also. Would love to use it for my first dive. I just enrolled for the PADI course and it would make a memory of a lifetime to have a first dive documented.
I would use it use it in the swimming pool to take some crazy family portraits 🙂
DiCAPac will go where the kiteboarders go! Langebaan Lagoon kiting from a different angle!!
With the DiCAPac WP-S10, under water color art is my next step. Fluid motion, suspended reality, distorted vision. A different world awaits.
it will open a whole new world – a new dimension to life….
I would use it on my Canon 7D and take some amazing underwater shots at the beach or in the pool 🙂
As a long time freediver and SCUBA diver, I could really use this! Macro underwater shots would rock!
I would be doing a lovely engagement sesh in the POURING rain here up in Pretoria! A Notebook inspired one amongst many 😉 [Have ALWAYS wanted to do these!]

I would love to use it in the pool to take some crazy fun portraits
I need it to take pictures in the rain, doing weekly shoots for Paintball fields. And rainy season is coming…
I’m a young 18 year old volunteer Medic & Firefighter for Disaster Management and a freelance photographer and my crew loves it when I bring my camera on calls but sadly almost lost my camera a few times at the factor of water at fires (hoses make it seem like its raining even if it burning) or working in the rain, not only I’m a water baby at heart and surf my brains out in cape towns waters!
(Just to be sure I enter at the right place)
I would use the DiCAPac
To photograph Nemo and upload it onto my Mac.
I’d take the time to read the manual
So I could photograph a swimming Spaniel.
The more I think, the more I want to go shark cage diving
And photograph a clown fish miming.
I can be all romantic and kiss my lady in the rain.
Yes, that does sound a little lame.
We can use it at the dam,
Instead of my dad’s cheap handy cam.
My photo skills might be disturbing,
But I am more than capable to film a man surfing.
And if I ever should forget
To fit my camera with this plastic net,
I will never be able to blame ORMS Connect.
Thank you for hosting this great competition.
You just made this give away my mission.
At the beech, shooting a wedding in a howling South Easter, showered in salt spray, trying to keep a bride from becoming airborne, calming down a hysterical bride’s mother, the last thing I wat to worry about is my camera getting full of sand and spray. The DiCapc is ideal for me!
Shooting adventure sports means the athletes often have to endure conditions a camera cannot… with The DiCaPac, I can follow them wherever – in the water, mud, rain and more!
What a wonderful gift! It would be PERFECT to photographing research being done on the Great White Shark, which I am helping with. White sharks only to be found in nature and not captivity. Hence the even bigger need for your gift.

I’d shoot kids in rock pools along the coast and get some excellent shots of the marine life hiding under the water.
Water water water, Above water, in water, underneath water!
Before I saw this post I didn’t know there where alternative waterproof cases like this, would love to take my slr to the water and get some shots of friends surfing and especially for my trip to bali at the end of the year 🙂
Been waiting for this to be the prize for the last 5 years! I’d shoot my friend’s fashion range with this baby.
Definitely surf photography. This will be the next step to get me into something I’ve been looking to get into for a while now…

I would use my DiCAPac at the rock pools at the end of the Kommetjie slipway where we take our most amazing pitbull troy swimming.

I would use in in the rain to capture some amazing long exposure shots, I would use it to photograph the surfers on long beach, I would use it when we go fishing and are reeling in the fish to show life from the fish’s perspective.

I’m also doing a seascape course in May and I need something like this to protect my camera! And of course …. rainy season pics with umbrellas and wellies and puddles … need I say more ….Please pick me !!!
I would use it in the pool, in rivers, in the sea, when it rains, in the bath. Anywhere in water. It would open a new world of photography for me.
being a water baby at heart, my DiCAPac would be put to use almost everyday. Every and any watersport from the surf to a lake, I really have been dying to use my camera in the water and finally this may allow it! 🙂
I’d use the underwater case to photograph whitewater rafters in the rock-pools along the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe!

I’ve always wanted to do some shots of waves from underneath and behind the wave as it comes over. Maybe some video as well.
Well this is a tricky question…….. I would use the DiCAP underwater Case for my 5D Mark III… Through out school and varsity I have always been keen on underwater photography, especially shooting my brother surfing!!!
This would be the ultimate prize and I would finally be able to get out in the water and get some crazy cool footage.. Getting slow-mo footage of the back of a wave will change my life. Jack Mccoy style!!
It would open up a whole new world to me. I always look for some new way to shoot a wedding. This will open up a lot of possibilities, like shooting in the rain, at a waterfall or (as this weekend’s bride wants to do) in the sea. I can shoot without worrying about my precious equipment.
mmm interesting question, maybe I’d have my own version of a sports illustrated swimsuit edition only ………. In the Swimming pool or on the beach!!! Sun, Sand, waves and babes!!! LOL!!!
I would use the DiCAPac waterproof case to shoot an aray of events and happenings in my life from hanging in the pool with friends to some funny angles jumping into pools from cliffs and stuff like the holy one festival! pick me! pick me!
I’ve often been naughty and used my camera in the rain (with as much protection as I can offer it), would love to be able to safely take pics rain or shine. And who knows – might get creative and take it to the sea.
I’d finally be able to take amazing shots of surfers, as well as rainy shots when I move to the UK. The DiCAPac would be a huge improvement from the plastic bag I currently use in wet conditions, haha!
I would use my DiCAPac to go do some amazing underwater photography in the Red Sea, ponta do ouro etc. and not use the bad quality compact camera I already own.
I am convinced I was a mermaid in my previous life, I have a profound love for the sea, and lately I havent felt more close to my spiritual-self as I have these past weeks, swimming and snorkling in the sea with a friend. This time I’ll take my DiCAPac with me into the sea.The DiCAPac will help me find my roots, as I am 100 % positive underwater photography is something I would love and appreciate unlike anything I’ve ever done.
would love to take this to Thiland!
I would use it when snorkling around the beautiful Cape Coast!
To drag my G1X down the Witte river (and, when I’m big the Cannon SLR that has been giving me the eye at Orms)
I’d use it in a little town on the west coast called Veldrift. To capture that beautiful sea life at the bottom of the shallow rock pools. It’s definitely a secret venue but definitely a spectacular one! So spectacular it needs to be captured!
Shooting a documentary on reefs in east Africa – this would be a great addition to gear!
I would use my DiCAPac to shoot the BEAUTIFUL beaches of Cape Town from the water, while filming my friends bodyboarding!!

I would use the DiCAPac to work on underwater portraiture, and to cover competitive swimming.
Rainy day shooting at the beach. Capturing the moody blues and grays of the sea and clouds and getting into my own wetsuit and capturing surfers in the misty and rainy waves.
I would use my DICAPac every opportunity I got.
I have had an idea for a shoot based in rain with flash, considering my D70 has a max flash-sync speed of 1/500 allowing me to freeze rain drops better than most modern cameras and I want to explore this functionality of my camera, while still offering it the protection it deserves.
I am a photographer that appreciates high quality products, and the DICAPac meets this appreciation.
Underwater photography is something I am deeply interested in as I love the refraction water causes. I also love the ethereal feeling underwater photography inherently gives an image.
Sadly, cash is short on my end otherwise I would buy one, and thus I am doing something I do not normally do which is enter competitions
I would use my DICAPac on the Orange River. Rafting on the river involves water! I would love to feel comfortable taking my camera without worrying about it getting wet. There are awesome photo opportunities but I won’t come home with any if I don’t have the right waterproofing. Please don’t leave me in the position where I have to take my mik en druk!
