    I had a sj5000 and hated it. The buttons kept sticking so it would stop and start recording whenever it wanted to. Spend the money get a GoPro. You should be able to pick up a used GoPro for decent prices with the hero 5 coming out.

    Hello from suburban Chicago!

    Balancing Family Needs and diving in Florida Keys

    I stayed in Key Largo and dived through Scuba Fun. They had a package of dives and hotel with Holiday Inn Express. Most dives I had to walk 20 feet tops to get to the canal that was next to the hotel for my dives. I did all shallow.
