    Hi Ian,

    I haven’t used any of these options, but to choose between these, I’d be looking at:

    => thickness (the shorter, the more working distance)

    => price

    => weight

    => launch date

    In 2013-14 (from memory) Nauticam’s SMC-1 was a very successful wet diopter because it offered not only magnification gains, but also image quality enhancements (e.g. bette contrast).

    Since then, other manufacturers have released quality wet diopters. I have heard good things about the AOIs, I don’t know users of the Krakens.
