Good day all,
I am a freediver (I have once dived with scuba tank and it was fun) since my very early age. I am not a spearfisher (never hunt). I like the purest form of connection with the sea, thats all.
I really need your advice as you have more time to set up and shoot while you are submersed. Freedivers dont have much time for this during shooting so it is very challenging. I have read many threads in scubaboard about the rx100 and s100.
During the last two years I started taking photos with a gopro. Then I have upgraded (after reading threads in here) to S100 with a Meikon housing (no flash) for a start. I really think I have talent to what I do. You can visit a see my portfolio here pallse . All photos with no flash. I use the fisheye uwl-04.
But last weekend the Meikon housing broke. I've noticed a little crack on the securing clip so I didnt want to risk and dive with this again. I've started looking for a patima housing but then the idea of upgrading to rx100 with a patima housing raised up. I was thinking to give the s100 to my wife for shooting on land and go for the upgrade rather than taking a patima housing for the s100.
The question is if it is worth or not. Remember, I am a freediver and I want fast shutter speed while shooting freediving action with a high number of F and the smallest iso. Flash is an option but because of the slow recycle time I will only limited to one or maybe two shots during a dive and wait for the next. With no flash I can take 4 or 5 or more good shots.
My field of interest is shooting freediving sessions, training, competitions, pool training, pool artistic, sea artistic and snorkeling.
These photos are with the S100 with Meikon and uwl-04 no flash. If you think I am gonna have much better results with the RX100 would love to hear.

Side note I have a DSLR Canon 600D with a 10-22 lens, 18-55 and 55-250 but I dont want to invest on bulky housing etc I prefer to stay compact but I am just looking for the best one.
Thank you in advance for your responses!
