Looking for another option to GoPro?

Was in my local dive shop the other day to get routine maintenance done on my gear. Guy at the shop recommended I take a look at Intova- a dive light brand that has gotten into the camera business.
After doing some research, I've decided on the Intova to take to Belize in May/June.
The below video is a comparison of the two, but it's worth noting they used the Silver version of the GoPro because the specs are the most similar. $299 vs. $150 is a no brainer for me, especially since the Intova can go 70' deeper. The Intova also comes standard with the LCD screen, which is great for my purposes.
Anyway, if you're looking for a cheaper and possibly better option than GoPro, take a look at Intova.

I've got a gopro and I've been pretty disappointed. I don't usually fall for marketing shite but they got me.
It's a shitty video camera with shitty battery life in a cheap waterproof case. I'm sure there are many better options.

I've read the battery life is pretty good on these too. I'm going to put it through its paces on my trip to Belize. Will hopefully have some good dive videos to post as well.

Look at the Sony AS100V.

In front is a new premium ultrawide Zeiss Tessar lens that realizes 30 percent higher resolution with reduced aberrations (an issue with older models) and has a 170-degree viewing angle. Sony's also tweaked its image stabilization so that it automatically compensates for different movement such as when walking, biking, or driving.
Behind the lens is a new 18-megapixel Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and a high-performance Sony Bionz X processor. The combo lets you record at 1080p at 60fps in MP4, but can also record in Sony's XAVC-S format for 1080p60 movies with bit rates up to 50Mbps. The AS100V also supports shooting at 1080p24 and high-speed 720p video at 120fps and 240fps shooting with sound.
For advanced users who want to do more than just point, shoot, and share, the camera has neutral and vivid color modes with the former allowing greater post-production flexibility. When recording in XAVC-S and working in Vegas Pro you'll be able see time code and user's bit data to make editing video from multiple cameras easier.
Like its linemate, the AS30V, the AS100V has built-in Wi-Fi accompanied by NFC for fast pairing with NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets. It has built-in GPS, too, which can be used with Sony's PlayMemories Home software to overlay location or speed information onto your videos. The software will also allow you to create a split-screen composite for viewing the video from multiple cameras in a single clip.

Fixed. Pasted the link in the wrong box... Whoops.

The two videos look pretty much the same quality wise expect for the green tint in the go pro video which I'm sure can be edited to look more blue with a filter. But, as you said, at a lower price point and essentially same quality it makes sense to go with the other camera.

Yep. Price point is the kicker for me.
I will be picking up a red filter shortly, as that is the first color lost as you go down. Can make quite the difference.
