I have a baby coming soon and so my scuba vacations will be put on hold for a while. I am a recreational diver so the housing has only been used on vacations in warm water conditions in Hawaii. Up for sale is my Ikelite G9 System. I bought the housing new in Dec 2007 and the first dive occurred 12/18/2007. The housing has been used for a grand total of 16 hours and 26 minutes of bottom time on 17 dives in average water temperature of 78 degrees and average depth of 40 feet. The housing was overhauled in September 2009. Since the overhaul, the housing has been used for 9 hours and 15 minutes of bottom time on 10 dives, with the last dive logged on 5/28/2010. I have always had soaked the housing in a freshwater tank after each dive and made sure the buttons and knobs were flushed out with fresh water. The main o-ring has always been removed, cleaned and lubricated before storing the housing even overnight. The port is clean with no scratches and the TTL circuitry works as it should. For storage and travel, the housing has always been placed in a foam padded Pelican case. The housing has never been flooded, nor dropped. The only scratches on the housing are inside under the plate that attaches the camera. When you slide in the plate with the camera on it, it brushes against the housing, causing some scuff marks. There are hi-res pictures in the flickr album to show you exactly what condition the housing is in.
The following is a price list for the housing as well as other items for sale which are also in excellent condition.
