Our tech group take then to 55m and a bit more, the seem to survive. Not sure what the depth is that they'll fail, I would presume at least 55m + 25%

My understanding is it's not the housing that is the limitation, but the spring buttons. At a certain pressure the spring can no longer resist the force and will begin depressing the buttons.
At what depth does that happen? I don't know.

See my previous response on the matter, regarding taking a GoPro to 250'

If you watch this video, you can hear when the blur fix implodes from the vacuum between the lens. The GoPro was fine.

This might work. The SJCAM knockoffs are apparently notorious for turning off at depth. Scroll down for a solution. Perhaps this would work to increase the depth for a GoPro.Yes that is what happen a few hours ago, We reach 55m and I wanted to turn on the camera, and it didn't, so no video
What I can say is that my Canon housing did work fine at that depth (56,4m) and is rated for 40m, it took pictures fine, no issues with it.
Imitation GoPro Cameras from China. Any Good?

I have a Hero 3 and have taken it past 200' fairly often. The dive housing is rated to 197 ft (60 meters) and the only thing I have noticed is the back of the housing gets pressed against the LCD screen. I took it past 240 ft one time and it still functioned.
