Protecting camera gear while waterfall rappelling at Bambarakanda

You cannot safely operate a DSLR while actively abseiling down the main drop of Bambarakanda. The water pressure and spray are immense, and you need both hands for rope management. Professional adventure photographers usually rig a static line next to the waterfall and shoot from a hanging harness using an underwater housing. For participants, stick to a GoPro mounted securely to your helmet.
