I never feel brave enough to trust a underwater rig. What if it leaks? A few grands is down the drain. Do they come with warranty to cover any damages due to leaks?

The trick with underwater cases it to test it out before you put the camera into the case. Most leaks are caused by misuse and abuse, I guess you could get insurance but it's likely to be expensive.

BTW great video, I wonder if they used lights as the colour balance is right on compared to most.

I used a underwater case for a P&S a few years ago while I was in Thailand.

You have to make sure:
1. Gasket is well lubed (they sell the tiny tube for over $50)
2. No sand in between the seals
3. All rubber protudes have no crack, etc..
4. soak the case in water and try it before using it.
5. Wash case inside before storing,

etc, etc,....

A pain, I would just go with the Olympus waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof series. :)
