LOL....I'm on a secret mission to convert folks over to Waterproof Hoods!
In all seriousness, as long as I'm not using it, my dive buddies are welcome to use my stuff....and those who have been out with me know that I'm a redundant diver, i.e. I bring a lot of stuff. If I'm going to drive over an hour to dive somewhere, I'm going to dive unless I suffer multiple failures.
Back to the hoods: I have Pinnacle, Bare, and have tried Dive Rite hoods....but the first time I put on a Waterproof hood, I bought it....then I bought another. So far, I'm 3 for 3 on people liking them, including me.

That hood was warm... and comfortable... very stretchy! Youtube had trouble accepting my 30 minute file last night... I'm not sure if they're having issues or my Windows 8 Beta is having issues, or a combination of both. I did manage to get the shorter of the two videos uploaded. In this 54-second cinematic masterpiece, you'll see shadows, blackness, some brilliantly-subdued emerald green vignettes, a flashlight spot or two, and what I believe is a glimpse of the sailboat mast before the dramatic cutaway to the outline of my mask strap buckle. Accompanying the unequalled cinematography, you'll discover a soundtrack sure to please any audiophile.

LOL....this makes me realize how little light the Go Pro gathers. I thought these were f/2.8 aperture? Granted it was overcast and raining at certain times, but it wasn't dark.
That settles it for me, I'm buying the tray, arms and light setup for my Go Pro....whenever I get off my lazy backside and actually pull it out of the box.
I need to go to the video forum here on SB and do a little research as to what folks are using, but this is the housing I think I'll be going with: http://www.backscatter.com/sku/bs-gpuw.lasso
And, I'm thinking about this for lighting as I really don't want to spend $500 for a light setup:

Cyprian...is the Texas flag still on top of the Eagle at CSSP?

I did not see it. That said, this was my first trip on the North end of the park and I was still working on my weighting (still over-weighted), so I dropped down the buoy line to the top of the plane and, after adjusting buoyancy and fixing my "octo" that had popped out of it's holder, I swam around the plane.
The flag very well could be there, I just didn't spent much time on the top of the plane. (Something to look for next time!)
Congratulations on finding the camera so quickly that is great. It is not the first gopro to slip off the head and go diving on its own you will probably want to attach it to something with a short cord so it can't get down in the weeds and hide or head to the bottom of the ocean. I video the classes I help with and use the chest strap, not as handy as the head strap but at least it stays with me.
