Underwater Camera Housings

I just bought a scuba SeaLife DC800 underwater digital camera, but don't know what kind of memory card to use?

Is there a certain brand that works better? Any other info would be greatly appreciated since this is my first underwater camera. Thanks.

1. Read your manual, it will tell you. First of all the format must be right, secondly there could be a limit as to size - not all cameras can handle really big cards. I doubt the brand would matter. The speed would only matter if you can (and will) take lots of photos in burst (continuous shooting) mode.
2. Below is quoted from sea-life's website at http://www.sealife-cameras.com/service/dc800support.html "SeaLife recommends using SD pr SDHC memory cards up to 4GB, which will take about 1500 large size, fine quality pictures or at least 30 minutes of continuous video. We recently tested 8GB and 16GB SDHC memory cards from popular brands like Sandisk, Kingston, PNY and Lexar without encountering any problems."
