Has anyone taken it underwater as a SCUBA dive case?

I personally have not, however I ordered this product and inside it states "water resistant". I am not sure I would trust it to anything scuba as a true "dry box". If it was I doubt they would have taken the trouble to mold that statement into the case itself inside.

Yes you can. My wife and I took almost all the pictures from our honeymoon with our phones in the case. We did not take any underwater pictures though. We used mainly to protect our phones just in case they got wet

Olympus sells an underwater case for the 700 and 710 that is capable of use in depths of 130 ft /40m. The product name is OLYMPUS PT-032. It's great, I have one.

It has a waterproof case that you put it in. I took mine diving I forgot about a red lens. But the video turned out ok. I took mine down 30ft diving and we were down there for at least 45 min to a hour.

I wouldn't trust it as a waterproof case just based on the appearance and quality of the material it is made of. However, I did not try it underwater to find out. Terribly cheap case!!

Yes. The case fits like a glove. The pictures I took with it are fantastic. The ZS10 camera has a special mode for underwater pictures that you should set. Every button, knob, and dial on the camera can be used while in the case. Quite impressive. My only complaint is it is a little bigger then I would like it to be. I mounted it to my BC with a lanyard that loops back on itself to keep it snug to the BC when I am entering the water. I have dove up to 95 feet, with over 20 dives to date with no leaks. I would recommend that you leave it in the case between dives to prevent sand from getting on the O-rings. Since you can turn the camera on/off while diving, I found I could leave it in the case for several days of diving before you need to remove it to charge the camera battery. Just rinse with water, like all your other equipment.

In my experience, these bags are completely water proof even when fully submerged at shallow depths (I actually used a smaller size one to hold my valuables when snorkeling off a public beach and dove down 8 or 10 feet repeatedly with it), but because of the air inside, it's pretty buoyant. So, while it is submersible, you would have to weigh it down with something to keep it underwater.

Mine wouldn't. It's also not protective at all. I got a separate reg bag that is protected. Just an FYI, I was carrying around all my gear: BC, fins, wetsuit, reg, save a dive kit, reel, recovery bag, etc., on an almost daily basis and the bag ripped along one of the seams after about a week and a half. Probably not really made for that kind of (ab)use.

Absolutely not. I would trust $5k of camera equipment in it on the back of my motorcycle in a downpour for hours though. It is a rolldown bag. Gravity will keep water out - submersion will not. You need a Pelican case for that application.

I use this in the pool with no problem. Very watertight. The instructions will have you test the case and submerge in water so if your phone, and case, pass that test, you are good to go! I do not submerge mine, but I would not be afraid if it dropped in the water.

has anyone taken this camera diving. If so can you share your comments if it's a scuba diving camera?

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature. I used it with the underwater case and the case is great.

Yes to all of the above. I took mine on a river float and did all of the above and listen to my music. I love this case! No water leaked in at all. It's very reliable. I did do a test with a folded napkin inside and submerged it in water to just test it and make sure it wasn't a defective one before I submerged my phone in water with it. For the price, you can't beat it!

I can't see which waterproof case this refers to. I have 2 different kinds. The kind that's a sealed bag, I haven't gone diving with it but it sure looks like it would work. The other one I have is a lifeproof case that is rated to a certain depth for a certain amount of time by the manufacturer, off hand I think it is 6 feet for 1/2 hr, but you can look that up on their site easily.

Yes, get it. It is totally worth it. It is the perfect case. My diving buddies live taking pictures with the camera over the Sea Life

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.
