Thank you everyone. It was a sick time and for anyone even remotely interested, go take the training and do it. You will like it... more than the car bug. It's so addicting.

DP: It was one of the coolest things ever. It's like "Oh ****, I've seen this on Nat Geo before". Then I was like, instead of keeping my distance, I need to get closer. So I swam right up to 'em. Then they "dropped" around me and had me surrounded. It was crazy. Then as you see those Tarpon swim through, that really added to the whole "oh **** this is sick" factor!

Stock: I only had a very minor fogging issue on that bait ball dive, which was my 12th? dive of the week. Never had an issue anywhere else. They make moisture inserts for the GoPro housing. Haven't used one myself but it seems to work well per my research. I'll be grabbing some for my next dive trip. I HIGHLY recommend the Backscatter flip up lens... you can then take surface and below water photos, and bring the red spectrum back into the shots when needed:

The other thing you NEED is a rubber band to hold the housing together. There have been instances of them opening up on the ascent. I'll be purchasing this to replace the rubber band shortly:

The Dive housing is so much better than the stock one. Flat lens = yes I will focus!

Rounded lens (at least on the GoPro) = y u no focus?!
