Looking for a camera and enclosure suitable to 200'.
I am not looking for videos suitable for a NatGeo film but for home/youtube/SB
Trying to stay under$500
I spearfish some too so it needs to be able to be gun or helmet mounted.




TIA for any suggestions
 
I assume you mean camcorder (for video). Don't see how you can get one for under $500 unless someone gives you a great deal. My set-up (Backscatter Top Dog and Sony TRV-17), which I used to take to 180-200 ft routinely was "inexpensive" at $1,700 new. You'd have to add lights to get anything worth while at that depth.
 
drbill,I had seen some video using a DC1000 Sealife.
I have read about up to an hour of video available on some digital cameras.My expereince with Sealife is not good so I'd considered Ikelite,Fantasea etc...

I would try to get as lo-lux a camera as possible to prevent having to use external lights.
