Is it good for scuba diving?

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)

I've only snorkeled. It's great for snorkeling I don't know about deeper waters

I believe the camera is rate for 40 ft. I have never had a chance to use it under water. I have rinsed it off in the sink before, and have not noticed a problem. I have not used it a lot, but the pictures look really good. I would use it if I went diving. I would just watch the depth that I took it. I would also attach some type of float to it, so it would not sink if I dropped it. If you take it diving in salt water. I would suggest rinsing (submersing) thoroughly it in fresh water afterwards to remove any salt residue. I hope this was of some help.

I won't be much help. We didn't like the pics we got on dry land do returned it immediately. Pics were too pixilated to ever print. Hope that helps

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 works well for scuba diving. I prefer the video quality to the GoPro and Contour because of the video stabilization. You will need to purchase the ADA-RD1 with the flat port for underwater. Happy shooting

Hi xterradiver, Kendall here from The Friendly Swede! To answer your question the best I can, the material itself is not designed to be submerged in water for long periods of time. It can withstand wet weather conditions but it is not designed for scuba diving. As a scuba diver myself, I know how important safety is while underwater. As much as I would love to recommend our product to you, I'm not sure it would suit your needs as a scuba diver. I hope that helps! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at the customer service link below. Thanks! All the best, Kendall / The Friendly Swede

the specs on the camera are waterproof to 18m/59ft, shock proof to 2m/2.2ft., freeze proof to -10*c/14*f. i only use it while snorkeling, so i cannot give a first hand review of its capabilities while diving with it. for snorkeling, it works great! any deeper than that i imagine you would need a bigger flash to capture any color. i also have to make sure to change the settings to underwater before taking the camera in the water.

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.

I used it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.

yes. I'm very happy with it. I don't wear it in the water, but it keeps everything dry in the boat between dives.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

yes it works well with snorkeling. Make sure all the dials/settings are set into place before you go down because its hard to adjust the buttons on the camera once its in the housing.

Do you mean SCUBA dive or jumping off a diving board from pool side? (I do both ;-) If you mean SCUBA diving, I'm not sure the player would withstand the pressure, nor would it be a good idea to have these things in your ears at that kind of depth. If you mean jumping off a diving board, I think that the device might tolerate it, but the earpieces might fall out. I use this device when I swim laps in a chlorinated pool but I've altered the manner that I do turns to keep the earpieces on.

It's primarily for diving to be attached to a scuba mask but you should be able to attach it to a ski mask in the same way. Well worth the money.

My answer definitively is YES. This ítem has really good caracteristics, it's easy to use and would be a nice gift. I have used many types of snorkeling sets and this one is one of the best. I hope my answer helps you.

I'm not sure, I only used it for snorkeling and it had a very good fit and seal.

Shallow water yes... if you want to go deep water there is a different water proof case that you can buy that is meant for divers and deep water snorkeling.

According to the rep I spoke, it will without fail. I'm assuming you mean in shallow depths, as it's not recommended in deepwater dives.

I dont see why not. First time i used it was for sledding. I cant wait to use it this summer for diving.

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.
