ABSTRACT:
An underwater camera unit comprises a camera body provided with a depressible shutter release button, and a water-resistant housing enclosing the camera body and provided with manually actuated means including a flexible housing section located over the shutter release button to be deflected to depress the shutter release button. According to the invention, the manually actuated means includes a substantially rigid cantilevered beam having a fixed end portion connected to the flexible housing section and a free end portion spaced from the flexible housing section, to permit the free end portion to be manually depressed towards the flexible housing section to create a torque at the fixed end portion which will deflect the flexible housing section to depress the shutter release button.
