It is designed to be waterproof to something like 180 feet, but there is no viewfinder so it would just be a guess and no way to add flash, so I imagine a couple of feet would be about the best you could do.

It is water and weather resistant, not meant to be submerged for underwater use. Pentax also carries a waterproof line of cameras, the WG line

I know there is a underwater housing available for the first model of this camera (the 720SW) that goes very deep. Check the olympus website, as it's where I've seen it. I'm sure they'll come out with one for this camera as well.

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

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!

I used this camera for both SCUBA and snorkling in seawater without any problems. I did rinse the outside with fresh water when I finished, just as I would with my dive gear. I believe this is one of the best price/feature cameras for its price range.

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

Yes it can. You have to put the camera in the waterproof housing it comes with. I don't know how deep you can dive with it.

My friend has taken the G12 diving and I have to say the pics were amazing for a camera of this size. I was very impressed. He is also a great photographer which helps! I am definitely looking at purchasing this for diving. I have used the Powershot with housing before and was very happy with the set up and overall quality so am excited to try this camera on my next dive adventure.

Only if you scuba to 3m. For half an hour max. And can start recording any video from on the surface. ... Just get a GoPro.

Yes you can. Make sure you open the camera before you or the device submerge underwater. THen the volume + button becomes our best friend now! Then just use the volume + button to take pictures!

Yep, that's the big selling point is that it's IPX8 certified to a depth of up to 100 feet. I used mine when snorkeling to take underwater pictures and video. Held up great on my first trip out, but the plastic seal ripped at the seam on my way to the beach the next day. It definitely works, but the durability and build quality were questionable in my case.

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

This camera is a piece of crap. I don't think it's designed to go under water for diving.

Nope, never used it underwater to take pictures. However, I have had it in very bad wet raining weather and it has held up fine. Your question could probably be answered best my the manufacturer. So far, for what I do with it, hunting in wet climates, works great for the price.EH

I purchased a GoPro for videos. I've only used this camera with the underwater housing & it has taken some amazing photos during my night dives. I have tried to take pictures of some moon rises and they have not come out well since I do not know how to set up the camera for those types of shots. Overall I love the camera but still learning how to use the settings to maximize my shots.

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.
