Canon S110 + Ikelite + Fantasea BigEye?

[boy22ban]

Hi I'm new here and to UW photography and would like to ask for some help.

I have a Canon S110 in an ikelite housing, and I look to use the system for video and making wider angle shots to document the dive (divers, reefs, walls, etc.). I don't think I'll plan to shoot macro (at least not soon).

I figured that I would lose the 24mm width of the S110 on the Ikelite, and am looking to at least restore that. To do this, I think I should be looking at adding a dome port to my system. Is this correct? Or am I better off investing in an Inon WA lens?

I was looking at the Fantasea BigEye or the Nauticam wet mate. Is any one of these significantly better than the other considering my system? The BigEye is readily available to me and am looking to get one already, unless I hear any horror stories about it. Getting the Nauticam would be a bit of work, but doable if it is worth it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Follow up question Interceptor....is the nauticam a glass dome or acrylic?

I am asking because the Wet Mate is not available where I am, but these are:

If the Nauticam is not glass, then may be I can settle for the non-glass (UAL-03) version.


Thanks in advance for the help.

Nauticam is glass but the I-dive site products are made to the same specs so fine as well
