Northwest Dive Club

I am selling my lightly used Aquatica D3S Housing with virtually unused standard eye piece (I used the Aquatica View Finder). It was $4,190.00 new.

The housing has about 30 dives and has been in storage for over 4 years due to medical issues. Other then scratches on the bottom from Puget Sound’s rocky bottom, it is in excellent condition.

The housing includes a pair of Nikonos connectors and an Ikelite connector. I ordered Ikelite, it was delivered with Nikonos and they added the Ikelite while keeping the dual Nikonos.

I will include an unused O-Ring. After 4 years I recommend the battery is changed. The strobe and focus light mounting balls visible in the pictures are NOT included.

I am the original owner and will ship in the original factory supplied box.

I am also selling my Nikon D3S Body that I purchased for $4,999.00. It is also in excellent condition with all original accessories and unopened documentation.

I am including two batteries, an assortment of Compact Flash cards including 2 ea. 32 GB cards and 2 ea. 16 GB cards. Also included are 2 ea. CF carrying cases, 2 ea. Lexar USB card readers and 2 ea. Lexar Firewire Card Readers.

The camera has 86,250 actuations. I used it to shoot sports which is where most of the shutter count came from. I’ve owned every full-sized Nikon Body, currently have a D5 and D850 and the D3S is the most solid feeling and handling body of them all. Low light capability is great and allows shooting without strobes in bright clear water. Of course, strobes will be better. I also have a Really Right Stuff L-Bracket for sale separately.

Price for the Housing and Camera Body is (Lowered to $1,250.00) $2,000.00 plus shipping and any fees. I have it listed for more on another forum but would prefer a local sale, I'll be getting a housing for my D850 if I sell this and could use a photographer dive buddy to share notes with. USA sales only. Local Seattle pickup available.

Thank you.

That was a FANTASTIC camera back in the day! Probably still beats most out there.
We have a bunch of photographers that dive Redondo ThThTh every Thursday night (see the planning section), come on by some time!

I'm looking forward to getting back in the water and live less than 5 miles from Redondo. I need to get a doctor checkup December 7th and don't anticipate any problems. I also need to order a new drysuit, a mouse got to mine while in storage and it can't be repaired. I'm hoping to dive by January, possibly sooner.

I've owned the D2, D2H, D3, D3S, D4 and now the D5 and D850. The D3S can still hold its own.

Found this little guy at Redondo.

I have a dry suit for sale, super cheap. I’m 5’10” and 260#. (I know. Working on that.)
If you’re anywhere close to that, hit me up. It’s a fully tricked out DUI with all the extras. Only dived a couple of times...

I was measured last week and believe a new suit has been ordered but thanks.

Price drop to $1,700.00 I just ordered an Aquatica D850 Housing and would love for someone to take this.

Price slashed to $1,250.00 Great gear just gathering dust. Buy a Nikon D3S camera in great condition for $1,250.00 and get an Aquatica Housing for free!
