Backscatter or GOPRO dive housing

[Deva]

HI all very new to new water shooting. but will be doing alot of diving this winter in Thailand ( like 150-200 dives)
would like a gopro but not sure on what UW housing to get.
pro and cons of each would be great.
cheers

oh and I know I will be getting a red filter so think about what you would get if it was you.

I have a flat lens by Snake River Prototyping. I really like the clarity. I also have a color correcting (red) filter which makes a world of difference. I have no experience with either of the housings you mentioned, but Backscatter's is similar to mine. The GoPro dive housing has a rectangular lens that is made of plastic. The Backscatter and SNP are glass which would make that my choice.

What a wonderful opportunity to go diving in Thailand.

yeah I like the BS as it has glass + you can get polarized and a lens cap cover. but for the gopro dive housing they make the flip filter pretty cool...
anyway else have any feedback or thoughts
and yeah I am very excited about all the upcoming diving.
cheers
