The real question is will it be worth upgrading. The built-in screen of the Silver version would be nice for diving but without WB options, it will be less capable than a 3+ Black which you can control WB. And with the exception of the 4K30 video rate, what's the benefit of the 4 over the 3+?
yes, if the hero 4 black isn't compatible with the existing LCD backpac, then i'm not going to be interested in using it for underwater work.
Anyone guess (or know) if the gopro housings can be attached to camera trays using a standard mounting screw? (or, how do the gopro housings mount to traditional camera trays?) I'd like to adapt an existing Ikelite tray & LCD video light from a defunct JVC WP-10 Picsio "camera" (worst dive related purchase I ever made!!!).

I don't think that you will be able to touch screen underwater deeper than 10ft.I like having the touch screen for underwater diving, so I may go with the Silver.
Also a big leap is from the Hero 3+ Black to the Hero 4 is Manual controls for ISO, Exposure, Color
