Why Buy a Gates Video Housing
 |
RELIABILITY
Gates housings have 100% mechanical controls which makes them exceptionally dependable. When diving in far off locales, a customer can rely on a Gates housing to work every day, every dive. There are no electronics that can fail in the humid salty air, no spares to carry and no batteries to worry about.
This is why professionals never take a chance...they take a GATES! |
 |
DURABILITY
Gates housings are machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum which makes them extremely durable. The aluminum is coated with a type II “hard” anodize process which seals and protects it from harsh salt water environments and abusive handling. The aluminum and stainless steel construction allows Gates Housings to be depth rated to 450 feet… a must for the most extreme diving conditions. Gates housings are virtually “bulletproof". |
