Any hard case back is ok for diving. If you have the touch screen back(for the LCD screen) it limits you to a little less than 10 ft. However this kit comes with the hard case back for the LCD screen as well so you should definitely be good to around 100 ft. Also if your going to be using it for diving I recommend you get the red lens clip on cover, it's like 7 bucks and you get much better imaging.

I purchased a GoPro for videos. I've only used this camera with the underwater housing & it has taken some amazing photos during my night dives. I have tried to take pictures of some moon rises and they have not come out well since I do not know how to set up the camera for those types of shots. Overall I love the camera but still learning how to use the settings to maximize my shots.

I use the standard housing to dive with. I had it around 140ft with no problems. The red filter is a must. I did not use the macro lense much though.

I have this and a couple of other people in my diving club have the GoPro. We've all used them both and generally agree that there's not a lot of difference, except for the fact that not all GoPros have a screen on the back. Since the Intova is a bit cheaper than the comparable GoPros, it's a pretty good option.

I use my GoPros to film underwater on a downrigger. I tried the new case only one time, as it leaked from the bezel at less than 85 feet. The good news as stated, if you have a regular 3 Black, is that the new camera will fit into the old housing. I have had my 3 Black camera down to 195 feet, and believe it or not, there was enough light to see what was going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXSgMSmyfOM And here is some footage in clearer water over 100 feet deep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRPbdCpXzTQ

Absolutely. I recently purchased the black edition for Hero3 and it works perfectly. I understand your concern because of the new housing but I assure you, you have nothing to worry about. This is a fantastic go pro case.

No the dive housing is for GoPro 1-2, the 3 doesn't need a dive housing just the filter.

While entirely waterproof for diving, this is the old version of HD Hero and I believe you have to buy a special flat lens for underwater. Likewise with the Hero2. However, with the newer Hero 3 and 4 models, they come with the flat lens. The best thing to be sure is to call GoPro and ask them.

Yes, I used hero 3 black, it is just the mask with the mount, so should be compatible with any go pro, it does not include the waterproof housing if that's where the question was going

This would work great for that. The GOPRO system is durable and water proof

Yes, However if you are getting a lot of accessories you might wanna buy one bigger. I use my go pro for scuba diving and i have different mounts and filters to help get better video and Photos. All my accessories fit fine.

I'm sure it would be fine, however I would prefer the Gopro Pole for scuba diving. I used it and had great results especially when reaching a good distance for close up shots of fish and other sea life your not supposed to get close to or won't allow you. The pole is well constructed and in my opinion harder to lose. It can be challenging with the older model Gopro due to having to reach for the button every time you want to start or stop recording. My dive buddy used it on our second dive and he has the gopro 3 and had amazing video, and was able to get close to corral, fish, ect. Tip: invest in a red filter, a world of difference.

Make sure that the description for the bacpac says for Hero3. The Hero3 is smaller in size than the previous models.

I can't answer for sure. I use the filter on an Hero 3. I know that the case of the hero 3+ is really tight. I know for sure that it's difficult to insert the anti-fog insert because my friend tried this. About the filter, I don't know for which use you're buying, I've tried the red one for snorkeling and it did't work as I wish, all the video was totally and irretrievably RED. You can use it for deepest diving where there's low light e few colors. Avoid for snorkeling.

I used it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.

According to gopro.com the caps and doors are compatible with both cameras, the hero3 and the hero3+. Will not fit the hero2.
