under water shoot, help needed

[kardo]

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know of a swimming pool in london, greater London, with an observation Window which can be used for taking underwater photographs.

I am working on a project and would like to try this and it would be great if you guys know of any around.

Many thanks,

Kardo

Hi,

Not sure if they're are any swimming pools in London which have an underwater observation window, and most tend to be a bit funny about photography anyway (atleast in public seesions). Maybe it'd be worth contacting either Cameras Underwater by Charing Cross, or London School of Diving (020 8994 6006) to see if they could help you out

Kardo,

I think Crystal Palace pool has viewing windows. It's about 20 years since I was there but I recall a corridor with windows into the water.

Worth a try - here's a link - http://www.gll.org/centre/crystal-palace-national-sports-centre.asp.
