Back in the 70's when I was active in the SCUBA diving community, I did some underwater photography. Mid-1980's I was able to buy a used Nikonos V camera. This was everyone's go-to camera from 1984 when it was introduced to 2001 when discontinued. No digital Nikonos was ever produced. Color choices were orange or green. With a light bar, this was (still is) a great 35mm film camera. As noted, mine has seen considerable use.
I always loved to see these underwater cameras, although I never had the opportunity or need to own one. Congrats on this beaute !~
This was the state-of-the-art UW camera at the time. I used it quite a bit, as it replaced my Kodak Instamatic in a clear plexiglass-glass housing. With light bars extending at least 12" from either side and a framing attachment in front of the lease, I made quite a spectacle underwater.
