Dry At Depth Canister For Acr Aqualink View Plb?

[DownDiver]

After deciding to purchase a PLB, I've done enough research to determine that the ACR AquaLink View is the PLB I would most prefer to dive with; model number PLB-350C. Seems that there are few canisters on the market though and I'm unsure if those that are in production (McMurdo) have the internal volume to fit the ACR AL View, which means I may need to find another option.

Question for the SC community:
1) Are you aware of a quality case/canister with an internal volume exceeding 2.3" x 5.8" x 1.45” (5.9 x 14.8 x 3.7 cm)?
2) If not, can you recommend another product that would provide comparable performance and has a dry at depth solution?

Thanks

McMurdo internal measurements are approximately (using my tape measure) 6-1/4 inches in height by 2-3/4 inches in diameter.

HDV SeaTek (look on eBay) says their larger canister has internal dimensions 70mmx150mm, so it should fit. I have the shorter HDV canister, it is only 130mm long.

I have the same PLB and bought mine from HDV SeaTek. Contact George at hdvSEATEK@gmail.com.

@wetb4igetinthewater how you like the PLB? Does it fit well with the container? Is it easy to open after being under pressure? Any leaking?

@Lorenzoid is the McMurdo easy to open after a dive?

Thanks for the comments all.

@DownDiver. I can send you pics. I think it fits well. Or I can make a short video and upload to YouTube. Just don't let me forget, as my schedule is pretty hectic with my career and teaching. But this won't take much time. I just need to not be a lazy sack 'o ____ and do this.

Oh, and the PLB seems alright. I can tell you more how much I like it if I ever have to use it!

Cool, thanks. You think the container is easy to open after being under pressure?

The HDV design is brilliant. A bit bulky, but part of that is an easy-to-grip ring to open it.

Nice to hear, thanks for the comment @tursiops

No concerns with leaking?
