Underwater film cameras that have more than 36 exposures

I don't dive, but my feeling is that in order to do what the OP wants - explore a rubble pile at the foundation of a pier in an urban river - you would need to get at least your diving skills and lighting dialed to a high level, before worrying about a 36 exposure limit.

Yeah I understand that, for that reason it was just a hypothetical. Film camera's arent getting any more common so I might as well start looking now. Thats how I ended up with loads of rare bulk film like Panatomic X and special astrophotography stuff, a polaroid SLR680 for 6 bucks, and one of the rarest cameras in the world for 85$. Its all about buying before the curve, buying from people who cant tell nickel from platinum.

Im not coming with this out of the blue. as I said earlier, I snorkeled out in the ancient sunken greece city and had an awful time with the camera I brought. Literally one picture came out and that was it. I even shot that dastardly cinestill 800 junk in it because they said it was high speed. Nada.

If you get a Nikonos, get one with the 35mm lens. It's the only one that will shoot underwater and above water. The rest are for underwater only. Then practice using it above water first until you get use to it before you go on any underwater photo expeditions. You don't want to begin learning how to use the camera while you're dangerously distracted diving in the murky water of a river. Also, get one with a strobe light setup. You're going to need it. Practice on land with the whole setup. Good luck.
