Solved so no need to answer anymore: How deep can this go? Can it be used for diving underwater to like 20+meters?

Definitely not, they should really say that this is water resistant. It is nowhere near waterproof. I would even question the water resistant feature. It has a rubber sleeve over the battery that is about it. It is also not 30 mine has broken the clasp which holds the band that goes over the top of the head with little to no use basically. As far as the lights it is very bright I would not say 1600 lumens break but at least 350.

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.

We have never tried to take it deeper than 45 feet, we haven't tried to take pictures underwater with it. However the pictures we have taken are very good.

We hav only used it in the pool but am unaware of a depth limit? It takes excellent underwater video for sure! We love it!

Not at all. I've used it at various depths in fresh and salt water (although not beneath 20 feet) but I've never had a problem.

We do not scuba but we snuba dive at about 20 ft down and have never had any problems. We each have one and have had them for over a year. Living in Florida they get alot of use.

Sorry, but because it has an electric motor, I would not reccomend to use it underwater. It is not water proof.

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!

It is rated for 50 ft so would be expected to risk water intrusion, there is a specific case for depth, I have only gone 25-35 feet down snorkeling so have no personal experience, but I did take a lumix to 40 feet with similar seals (rated 30ft) leaked and earned a recovery bath in distilled water (still partially works).

No. We returned ours since it only worked once. Did not meet the claim of going underwater up to 1 meter.

Hello scuba, I really dont know because I never had to use it. So, I am sorry, but i can´t help you about your question.

60ft is what it is rated to. I have never taken it that deep. I only free dive and snorkel. I use it to take video or photos when I snorkel. The deepest I have ever used it is about 20ft. Works great and takes good photos. You can buy a little attachment that you can put on the holding string, that will float if you should accidentally let go of it. I snorkeled closed to what I thought was a rock that turned out to be a sea turtle that suddenly strated moving bout 1 ft away from me. Glad I had the floating strap.

ive take mine to 100 feet.. i think it made for up to 120 or 130.... there is a diving one, a shallow one and a open one..

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)

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

Not sure on depth but you can swim under water with it but you have to buy a waterproof headset.

As the others are saying, it only fits on the dive housing for v. 1 and 2. It's intend to be used in waters deeper than 10-15 feet, not shallow water because sunlight is abundant in the shallows. You need the white balance for the deeper water where the sun doesn't reach as well.
