I made this a few years back for my Sony Handycam. I have many dives with this housing and have been down to 100 feet with it with no problems. It works great unless you forget to tighten the screws on the cover. I no longer have a working handycam so I no longer need this housing. I am offering...

Does a tank need a dive shop VIP after a hydro test? The hydro shop tells me they visually inspect the tank before the hydro test. The local dive shop can't emphasise enough to me how much more important their VIP is than a hydro test. Is my LDS blowing smoke?
