OK, so my beloved Canon WP-DC35 housing (And S90*), rated to 40m, has been down to over 52m and worked flawlessly, the buttons didn't appear to be sticking in at all! And no floods, obviously.
It's clocked up a few 50m+ dives now, and many, many 40m+ dives, all without any sticking/flooding. I wonder how deep it could go before the buttons do stick... and how much deeper until it fails?

BUT

How do i take an S95 very deep... Like say 100m?
When i get around to doing my trimix course, i'll be wanting to take it with me... otherwise there's not point entering the water! (photos are my Mission) :wink:

I see the Fisheye Fix & Recsea are rated to 70m...

And i also see the Fisheye Fix G12 housing can be uprated to 100m with stiffer springs and an 'aluminium port'(?)... for a price...

Any tips? or experience on how deep the Fisheye's really go?



* I had both the S90 & S95 & housings... but decided to take the older camera down on the deep dives, just in case...
 
Recsea makes a 100 meter version of their G12 housing. You will most likely have problems if you go too deep with the other housings. - Scott
