Underwater Photography

Why is it so expensive to outfit a camera for use in water? I understand the need for divers to have solid and high quality diving cases for their cameras but what about the normal Joe looking to take their camera into a wet environment? I'm not about to spend twice what I paid for the camera for a box made of clear acrylic with a couple of buttons! Not only does a case for the D300 cost double what I paid for the camera but a case for a point and shoot also cost twice what that camera cost!

I've found one company making what looks like thick ziploc bags for the camera but they look so damn unwieldy I can't image them being useful.

This shall take some further thought and research... All of this to be able to take a camera kayaking...
