I've been having a problem with my GoPro + dive housing. Despite the dive housing being rated to 133 ft., whenever I dive beyond about 100 ft. in depth, the GoPro [within the dive housing] shuts off and stops filming. It isn't being damaged, as it still works just fine.
Could it be that the button on the case which activates the GoPro shutter, is being depressed by the water pressure surrounding it? Causing the filming mode to toggle to "off"?
Has anyone else experienced this? Why does this happen, and is there some way to get around this, like maybe a better dive-housing for GoPro, or better camera options for deep freediving than a GoPro? I love the GoPro for its small size - I appreciate that it isn't adding much or any drag - so a full DSLR with dive-housing isn't really a good option for me.
