that means that if i buy a new gopro now, it automatically comes with the new lens already mounted ?
No, Gopro as of yet doesn't have a solution. I am a dealer for Gopro, and sell a replacement flat lens that solves the focus problem. I'm currently offering an introductory deal on the Gopro for $259 which is the normal retail price, and I include an additional lens which is the flat lens (the lens sold separately is $42). All you do is unscrew the the screws that hold the black piece down, replace the lens, and tighten back down. There is no vignette effect in the R5 setting which is the best setting for filming underwater, it has less of a wide angle than the rest so things don't appear too far. This is what the housing looks like with the new lens.

Here's a video Greekdiver shot with a modified Gopro housing. I've seen the original unconverted footage and it's good enough for DVD.

Guys who want to participate should have some knowledge of working with digital video. However I would not expect any editing, only raw footage. All you have to do is make sure the footage is good/interesting.
Wishihadgills, a beginners angle on spearfishing would be a great addition I think. As long as you don't put yourself at risk by multitasking.
Don, I was counting on you
It doesn't matter if the video is shot with the Gopro or not. I'll have to make the quality match though, can't have a high quality segment making everything else look bad. I don't know anything about contracts for this purpose.
