The Kittiwake has just claimed my gopro 3. Stupid case flooded.
Bummed.

That's rough dude! Such a shame.
How did it happen? Is there anything you can do to prevent this for future reference?
i.e did you maintain the seal by rinsing the o-ring/case after each dive? Did you apply silicon grease now and then?

What are the water temps like now? I'll be there on Wednesday and still trying to decide which wetsuit to pack.

82-84. I've been diving in shorts and a rash guard. Haven't been cold once.

I know the feeling, mine popped in 30 ft of SW. It was my tune up dive with it before heading to the Cayman's. Nothing like $400 down the drain. I think I had a desiccant pack possibly in the seal. At least if you get a new one, the 3+ is supposed to have better battery life.
Check out Turtle Reef if you have time, it is a great shore dive.

Thanks, 3mm suit it is then. Sorry to hear about your GoPro--I lost a Sea Life still camera a couple of years back on its very first dive.

Sorry to hear about your GoPro. This happened to a friend of mine in HI; he was using the attachable LCD screen with the 'touch screen' housing and said it flooded around 45 ft. I believe he contacted GoPro directly and they gave him a significant percentage off a new one; might be worth a try.

RIP.
It died an honorable death. Its factory would be proud.

...but it was a good dive otherwise, right? :blinking:
