Will it work well at 20-35 feet underwater and is it simple to use?

I used it at 40 feet (12 meters) and is OK. They say in manual/machine that you can go up to 30 meters. I have the old one (d10) and used at 24 meters even with maximum defined for 12 meters. So you can go further but do not use microphone (avoid recording audio on deeper dives ok? you will broke you mic, I did it. Still take pictures, but no sound if I record videos). It is simple, easy, cool. Just set it to underwater before starting your dive. If you keep it in automatic mode you can have some pictures not very clear, with a light blue image... if you set it to underwater, clear and great pictures. Very easy to use. Do some trials before diving, try it in a swimming pool... and enjoy! I used it at 40 feet (12 meters) and is OK. They say in manual/machine that you can go up to 30 meters.

It is simple to use. My 7 and 5 year old take pictures and movies with it. I have not taken it scuba diving so I can't personally confirm how it performs at depth. I have taken pictures underwater at snorkel depth and the photo quality is quite good.

20 feet should not be a problem we possibly have a 30 feet right now and I have no issues with it the pump works great

One thing further, it would work perfectly fine in a pool that his chest deep or a lake that is any depth that you would use it at up to 35 feet, it is rated only down to 35 feet.

So far I've used it reliably at about 300 feet. My problem with it is that you can't read the writing but the LED's do work.

I took it in my pool and went down to the deep end of 8ft and it was totally fine. I haven't gone any deeper though.

I did some snorkeling while on vacation and the camera takes excellent photos and videos underwater, you will not be disappointed. As for the GPS, it did work while snorkeling, which was approximately 6ft underwater not sure if it will work going deeper underwater...hope this helps

It depends on how far under water you are talking about. You have to remember the deeper you go the the more the light levels change. This would change how the cards register in the camera meter. Less than 20' it's probably okay.

Friends of ours took it scuba diving with success, though you should keep its max depth in mind. My husband and I took it snorkeling and dove to about 15-20ft easily with no problems. It's probably one of the best purchases we have made, and the pics turned out great!

No there are others that are only for underwater, this one is for both. But it's only good to 10'. I love Garretts because they are the EASIEST to use right out of the box. Preprogrammed for different aspects. No knobs or dials and can be used fully automatic

It is waterproof, but probably not to any depth for diving. You should choose a diving flashlight.

Not really. A dedicated dive camera is better .. this one's depth rating is pretty shallow. 40f ~10 meters or so .. Most scuba activity is 10-30 meters (or more)

Never used it underwater, I would say that it would probably short out. I works get on land. It lifted all my vehicles no problem.

Yes you can keep it under water for a long time. I never took it down more than 12 ft. So I am not sure about 30ft.

I only went 8 feet deep. I have it for emergencies and not for regular submersive use like diving. I think you might want a more specialized flashlight for a specific use underwater, however, it has not leaked yet. It is great in the rain!!! LOL

No actually works pretty good would recommend the only problem is the camera moved on my dive and the line of sight was slightly lower than where I was looking so I missed a lot of activity.

I only used the camera for snorkling, 3 to 4 feet. It did very well at that depth. The specs say it is only good to 10 feet.

You might want to buy the MPKAS3 which includes both the casing and the depth door. It's what I dive with and goes to 200ft (60m) or somesuch. I've personally traken it down to 100 feet (30m).
