Re: Anyone taken TG-6 deeper than the rated depth of 50 feet?

I just took an aging TG-2 (also rated for 15m / 50ft) down to 18m / 60ft last week, and it worked well. Gave a depth warning but all the buttions functioned as they should.

Relative pressure changes between 50 and 60 / 70 feet are not awfully great so if the opportunities are special enough I'd personally risk it.

Not shooting raw on the TG-2 was a PITA for white balance though, its underwater WB settings are more appropriate for snorkeling. Would've loved to have a TG-6 available, also for the slightly less cramped button layout (zoom rocker on top rather than on the back).
