I've been working on an underwater case for GoPro for extreme depth.
My target was around 2500-3000ft (1000m).
Since it's a long boat ride for me to reach 3000ft, I sent the case to an outfit that specializes in ROV building and extreme depth equipment.
Yesterday they called me and said it passed at 3000ft. While i was really excited, I asked them if they could run another set of tests to see at what point the camera case would fail.
They called today. My jaw dropped to the ground when they told that it did not leak/deform until it reached 6300PSI. That's 14,000ft deep (2.6 MILES deep ((4.25km)).
While i won't shoot any video that deep soon, shooting videos 2000-3000ft deep will happen in the very near future...
Anyone else into deep sea exploration?
