That's just another great reason to buy Nauticam. 

Blatant profiteering in the UK on underwater photography is rife. I am currently looking at a Sea&Sea 45 Viewfinder:

Overseas Price: US$ 650

UK Price: GBP 830

Its difficult to see how this UK price could have been arrived at and as a consumer it is difficult to not look overseas. 

With the US$ at almost 1.7 it generally pays to take a gamble. Many items are priced pound for dollar in the UK. 

I recently bought some items (including a housing) overseas for USD3000 and total customs charges were only £120. My saving over UK pricing was around 50%.

The customs charges are not consistently applied so in my experience it is well worth rolling the dice as even with full possible charges its likely to be a significant saving and could be better than that if you are lucky.

Of course it goes without saying that supporting UK businesses is a good thing to do and they can provide a much better level of service and support than anyone overseas.
