I am a novice diver at best. But I found it very easy to use and the package great for the price. Tbought pic quality was good you just need to move sloy when taking video.

Honestly I would pass. I bought one for my wife and she's tried a few times but can never get decent shots. For a bit more you should consider a go pro. I have one and love it.

it is very easy to use but picture quality's not that good and battery gone so fast. I dove 2 tank and battery ran out in 30 minutes. For snorkel it is OK but for dive it need extra flash light. And it also can not zoom in and zoom out. However for the price this camera is worth your money.

No, definitelly not. Its a very good buy. Easy to use and clean. Works perfect. If you need some more professional, you can search for another models from this brand. But this one does the job. Good luck.

It's easy to use. Just need to set up a couple of settings in the menu, battery type and if you using it in or out of water. Also close or far shots. Then it is point and click. You also have the choice of video or pictures also.

I have scuba dived with it. It is not particularly useful. The wrist mount does not point naturally in a direction that you want to shoot.I would recommend something that points in the direction that you want to shoot. A head or chest mount, or a head mount with a pole that points back towards you would be better. It is not particularly stable either as the strap will only tighten so far. The strap holding the mount to the wrist strap is not tight and can come loose; you won't lose the camera, but it will dangle from the other strap mount and footage will be 'shaky' to say the least.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

I personally would buy something a little more substantial than the Black Diamond Half Dome. Also, if you are going to be wearing this for extended periods of time, then it can become uncomfortable. Lastly, this helmet was designed for rock climbers and alpine hikes, not the demands of water rescue. You could probably use it and be fine, but If it were me I would select a water rescue helmet.

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

If you are into numasmatics, I think you need to find another option. The scope does provide detail but the quality may not be something you are interested in. Overall, if you are SERIOUSLY into coins, I would suggest something else. Otherwise, it is okay for the household amateur (which I am).

It has a good seal to it.it ziplocs and rolls over and 2 snap clips but i still have not got a chance to use it in a wet condition because i am in a drought zone. I would think the seal is adequate.just make sure you squeeze the ziploc seal with a good pinch.the logo they show has it being submerged in h2o so it must work.

Yes, it's great for scuba.You need to use the rugged waterproof case.It is IPX8-rated down to 100M.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAeKP0_-qJw

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

I took my gopro 3+ silver snorkeling and got some great footage, I would deffinate recommend getting the gopro 3+ black edition and the stock waterproof housing on the 3+ works really well.

I use for lap swimming. You'll need to dork around with ear phones to find ones that work best with your ears. I'd like to try the wrap phones instead of the "dangle" wires just to see. Clips nicely to goggle strap. There is a period of trial and error, getting your playlist, volume adjusted-- but I'm 50- after a few on & offs in the pool I'm a pro and love it. I use it kayaking and while doing house work, walking. It's a great tool!

Thanks for responding. I took it to hawaii and used it snorkelling I was afraid it would die but it worked great and took some cool fish pictures. I'm very impressed with it

The gloves would work great for that. I got them with the intentions of scuba diving, but the problem with these gloves, is that they have VERY, very small slots for the fingers. I highly recommend trying on these gloves, or any for that matter, before committing. Good luck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJiXwfJuwag Best video at describing all the peripherals out there available. Then depending what you want you can search for the right setup. What is showing is the one with the structure scan. Not sure what you mean about 180 degree though? I use mine for finding wrecks for diving...works great!

A large would probably be your best fit. However, Go to a local dive shop and try on a couple. That will give you an idea of what you will need. It can be a crappy thing to do to a small business owner so I always try to buy something I need for my gear bag. Just for letting me try one on.

This safety tool is good for everything, for snorkeling as well for scuba dive, remember life vest you will wearing just as a precaution.if you scuba BCD by accident is broke or you are snorkeling and you dont know swimming this is the tool right for you.
