I had 30 dives in last year. I don't know if it is enough or not. I know that a next element will make diving harder. I'm trying be really careful I know very well I'm still not well experienced in diving (who is after 30 dives) But I would prefer probably a camera than GoPro because I see that there is possibility to upgrade it in the future.

For now, I would like to spent no more than around 1300$ for everything so I could take pictures during diving.

For now, thanks for your posts It's really a lot of information, I will have to read it through and have to think about it.

One possibility:

Sony a6300 with 16-50 kit lens:  $700-$750 ebay used

Seafrogs housing with standard port: $300 new

Sea&Sea YS-03 strobe, tray, fo cable:  $320 new
