I'm not sure whether it's blind faith or just pure luck so far, but this photographer has certainly been putting the weatherproofing of his pentax to the test. Apparently to get underwater shots of syncrhonised swimmers, he just dips the camera into the pool without a case and takes a shot!!!

Someone should tell him that his camera is weather sealed, not water proof!!
