is this housing waterproof/pressure safe for scuba diving to 100 feet?

The box says 40m/140ft. I took it down 80 ft with no problems. Got great pictures too. Be sure to read the instructions about caring for the seals.

I just got my housing and took it on about 10 dives...the deepest being 110 ft. I had no problems at all and the picture quality was pretty good!

Used it for upto 150 feet, I know the package says 130 feet but I was feeling a little adventurous! Taking care of the seals is the key

No problems at well over 100', 120' approx. Have used it numerous times without issue.

It has gaskets that seal the unit, but I can't say it's water proof. It's probably water resistant so that if you dropped it into a bucket of water, there would be no harm. As a diver, I don't think I'd take this under water.

yes it does. I bought one and used it on my underwater case rated for 197 feet for diving. They also sell a cheap case rated for only 16 feet. so look over your unit.

As others have answered, I do not know if it is waterPROOF, not having immersed it; however, I believe it to be somewhat water resistant. The o-ring seal between the head and battery compartment assembly is only tight when the flashlight is turned on (twist head slightly counterclockwise from battery end). It wouldn't make a diving light anyway. None the less, this is a great light, do not let water concerns stop you.

Don't know I use it for scuba diving. No pressure gauge. It is how ever 3000 psi so you could probably math from it

Jennifer.........It's good to 135'. We have used it for diving and it works perfectly. Would suggest not storing it with the seal installed in the groove, but loose, so it doesn't stretch. Then be sure you clean and lube the seal before each use. Comes with good instructions, so shouldn't be an issue. Also make sure you set the camera for underwater shooting.

I've been using it for scuba in Florida and it works. I didn't want one that would float so I got this one. It's not designed for water but works great. You just have to remember to let it dry in a cool dry area. The size was great for me also.

Hi Christian, Here's your requested information: { Dive door (AKA-RD1A) (1) Pressure-resistance: To a depth of up to 60 m (197 feet) underwater. (When the camera is attached to the Waterproof Case.) | Audio-enhancing door (AKA-RD1B) (1) Pressure-resistance: To a depth of up to 10 m (33 feet) underwater. (When the camera is attached to the Waterproof Case.) Hope these helps! Vincent

The waterproof case that comes with the HDR-AS100 is rated for 16 feet. Should you want to go deeper you will need to purchase the Sony MPKAS3 Underwater Housing (Clear). This case is rated for 197 feet. It also comes with a flat lens for underwater. The HDR-100 also has a under water white balance setting witch will make your camera capture true colors. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HPM07U4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=AXGLO2GKX3G8&coliid=I1580U82ZSC66I

Any hard case back is ok for diving. If you have the touch screen back(for the LCD screen) it limits you to a little less than 10 ft. However this kit comes with the hard case back for the LCD screen as well so you should definitely be good to around 100 ft. Also if your going to be using it for diving I recommend you get the red lens clip on cover, it's like 7 bucks and you get much better imaging.

Yes it's waterproof. It does fine in rain and such. You planning to scuba with it?

I wouldn't suggest scuba diving with it, but yes it is water proof. I have left mine in the rain and never had a drop in it. This a a true Pelican Case with a backpack built around it. It's worth the money.

There is a waterproof housing but it is not very substantial. Mfgr's typically will not warranty a dive camera unless there is an obvious defect as the responsibility for keeping the seal clean and lubricated is on the user. Don't go cheap, buy an ikelite housing and you will be glad you did for years to come. I am on about 5 years with mine, I clean and lube the seal before every week long dive trip and have never had a problem. I hope this helps

As far as "totally waterproof", this detector can go down to 10 feet max, so "totally" isn't necessarily the case either. Look to the Sea Hunter or Infinium LS Series for much more "waterproof" detectors from Garrett. Remember to get yourself a good set of waterproof headphones as well because they don't come with the machine automatically. I hope this helped. Good Hunting!

I don't think so. You can buy diving belts that are waterproof. The weights in the belt look like they're made of iron. Good luck.
