I was in a store today that I have a gift certificate for and came across a MarCum OVS 400 marked at $330. I have not done a lot of research into underwater cameras but always thought this would ne a great tool. I did read a recent thread asking for comparisons between the OVS and aquaview. In that thread an OVS560 is mentioned so I assume the 400 is an older model and that is why it is marked down. Is $330 a good price? How much is the 560? Pros and cons from people who have used the 400. Any insights would be appreciated.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
