The Liquid Image Hydra Series is an Underwater Camera built into a dive mask, making underwater photography “Hands Free” for safer swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The camera mask takes a 4GB+ micro SDHC card and can expand to a 32 GB card. A 4GB card records approximately 2 hours of video. Camera records approximately 700 or more images or 30 minutes of video per 1GB of memory added. It works well with the Model 347 – underwater 60 degree side torch.

Works well enough – there are a couple issues to at least think about It does work as advertised and does a very good job under limited light conditions. However there are a couple issues with a mask mounted camera to think about. First of all, as others have noted, it IS difficult to see the indicator telling you what mode it’s in. I practiced just sitting in a chair and it SEEMED OK, but in use over 4 days of diving, more than once I didn’t have it doing what I wanted. Got some stills when I wanted movies for example. So not a total loss, but not want I…
Wonderful underwater camera!
