I have a perfectly good case if someone is looking for a replacement/spare. My G9 flooded but in was probably operator error. I've since taken the case on a dive and it was leak free. Sigh, go figure.

If you had another G9, would you use it? Or have you now upgraded to a different setup?

Upgraded. I did try to replace it but the ask for used G9 at the time was too high. I picked up one of the oly 4/3 PEN that were on sale a couple years back. Better camera in most respects.

I've also upgraded and am ready to part with the Ikelite housing and the Canon G9 camera, but have no clue where to sell it (who'd want it? It's pretty old!) or if I should just attempt to sell the camera on eBay and chuck the housing. Am also considering donating it to a marine science center or scuba boy scout troop or something like that.

Ideas? Sounds like you're still hanging onto your housing - same problem as me - how would you get rid of it?

Haven't tried. Craigslist for a pittance?
