Hello, just got back from Cozumel, my Sea and Sea u/w camera unfortunately shuffled off its mortal coil, so I'm planning to replace it.
My question is, can anyone give an opinion as to whether the insurance policies for underwater cameras are worthwhile? I would guess that they are pretty expensive and maybe tight on terms and conditions. any opinions much appreciated.
Also, and I am being lazy in not searching as this has no doubt been covered elsewhere, but what is the scoop on the Olympus branded housings? I live in Canada and I think they cost about $300, versus $700 or so for an ikelite, so you could pretty much afford to flood one and replace the camera for the cost differential. would be a bummer for your dive trip though!!!!!!
Many thanks,
Stephen
