A shot of the special housing built for what was likely the first 35mm camera used underwater in New Zealand. It was designed and made by Lynton Diggle, with help from the DSIR. Diggle recalled using it on a water safety film that he shot in Lake Taupō in mid-winter. The handwound Eymo could only take 100 foot of film.
