Splish Splash

For such a divine liquid, water can be a nuisance (especially if you like music and photography with your snorkelling). Fortunately, some of your favourite toys are now impermeable to the stuff.

For such a divine liquid, water can be quite a nuisance (especially if you like music and photography with your snorkelling). Fortunately, some of your favourite toys are now impermeable to the stuff. Take a dive and see for yourself.

Sanyo Xacti E1 Camcorder

The E1 grants you the luxury of shooting snapshots (7 MP) while you film, which, of course, is nothing less than miraculous. And just think of the priceless looks of horror on everyone’s faces when you suddenly decide to film your own cannonball with this thing. Then again, how would they know this is the world’s first-ever waterproof camcorder? Bravo, Sanyo.

Olympus Stylus 1030 SW

Built like a baby ox, this camera is rugged enough to not only be waterproof, but shockproof, dustproof and – thanks to an all-metal chassis – klutzproof, too.

iN3 iPod Nano Case

Just as durable and vital as the iFR, only it

protects the littler apples – third generation Nanos. It creates less drag in the pool, too.

iFR iPhone Case

Remember that time you dropped your cell in that scalding cup of Joe? You’re looking at the official protection for those moments. In fact, you’d be shocked at the beating these things can take whilst keeping your new iPhone unscathed. Then again, a 100% polycarbonate shell will do that. And, yes, thanks to a swivel lid, your controls are fully accessible.

H20 H3 Headphones

Meet your new best friends for your resort retreats. They come handsomely dressed in jet-black with adjustable rubber earplugs. And they sound as good 10 feet underwater as they do on land.
