Shellicam
6.  Is the housing positively or negatively buoyant?
 
Our earlier prototypes had weight pods, but they proved far too much trouble considering the different camera weights and diver preferences. Most divers simply throw a soft weight bag or use stick on wheel weights to adjust buoancy. 
 
Story:  During a dive this summer I threw the Shellicam to a diver.  He missed and unfortunately the housing had a bit too much weight in it.  The housing and my new video camera immediately sank to over 100 feet.  I was trying for neutral buoyancy and did my weight testing in the bath tub.  I added a small amount of extra weight to compensate for the ocean's specific gravity.  Moral of the story...  positive buoyancy is preferred.
