New GoPro HERO3!

They only came out with it because I bought the Hero 2.

Right. I just got the underwater housing, the LCD bacpac, and the battery bacpac. I wonder if the batteries/bacpacs are interchangeable?

**EDIT**Well, I found my answer...sweet.

The HERO3: Black Edition is compatible with all GoPro mounting accessories and older generation BacPacs™ along with the newer generation LCD Touch BacPac and 2nd generation Battery BacPac. However, as all HERO3 cameras have a new size and shape they require HERO3-specific Wrist, Skeleton and 3D housings so be sure to check for HERO3 compatibility when purchasing any new housing accessories.

**Edit 2** clarification - compatible with the LCD TOUCH bacpac, not the regular LCD backpac :(

so you do alot of deco dives. mix gas? surface decompression?

Impirically, all surface intervals are controlled deco, so yea. Mandatory decompression is a common theme to about 90% of my dives now. With that in mind, I'll need to wait for a housing that operates in the 350'+ range. Most external controls are spring operated and at those depths, ALL buttons are depressed which wrecks havoc with everything. I've abused depth limits on quite a few things that didn't cost much, but a $400 camera deserves the best fighting chance I can give it.
