Aquatica D200 owners may be happy to hear that Aquatica will be providing a "Back Half and Mounting Plate" to allow D200 users to upgrade to the D300 without purchasing a new housing. I was informed that there is not enough available now because of the demand for the complete D300 housing, but they may start selling these by summers end and they will be silver to match the D200 housing.
