Is it goog for diving? How deep can it go?

Is not a "dive light" per se. Probably could get away with snorkeling, but it's really about floating and working submerged, like unfowling a prop on a boat or something like that. That's why I bought it and have it on my boat.

The one I have is not waterproof. They do make waterproof models. They define waterproof as getting less than 8 drops of water in the safe when it submerged in water 2 inches over the top of the safe for 1 hour. So don't plan on taking it scuba diving.

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!

Jennifer.........It's good to 135'. We have used it for diving and it works perfectly. Would suggest not storing it with the seal installed in the groove, but loose, so it doesn't stretch. Then be sure you clean and lube the seal before each use. Comes with good instructions, so shouldn't be an issue. Also make sure you set the camera for underwater shooting.

I would say yes, it could go at least 10 feet underwater before it leaks. But, there are two other things to consider: 1) how long is it going to be 10' under water, and 2) how well did you roll the top shut. This bag is not particularly easy to roll shut, especially if it is a little on the stuffed-full side. Another reviewer claimed it was more trouble than it's worth. You must line up two Velcro strips before you roll it shut; even a small misalignment could be the cause of a leak. Mine goes in a canoe, so contacts with water are brief and infrequent. Overall, I like the bag, and I'm glad I purchased it. Hope this helps!!

Don't think depth is a problem. As long as not immersed too long (no scuba diving or swimming) should be ok. The deeper it's in the greater the water pressure on the seals. An incidental drop in a pool won't hurt.

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!

Unfortunatly, the manual does not specify a max depth. Judging by the construction, I would have no problem going to 10 feet. 10 feet should handle most people's snorkeling needs.

Idk. We only use it in Hawaii snorkeling and snuba-ing, so not very deep. Works great though! Air tight!

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

Only if you are diving below 15 feet or 3 metres. At snorkelling depth, I found I didn't need it.

Yes. Unfortunately mine leaked. I would not recommend this housing. If you choose to purchase it I would consider buying from a dive shop with a pressure tank for testing. A friend ordered this housing as well and had the same problem. First one leaked, he exchange for another which leaked as well. I don't believe any of the 3 had gone deeper then 50 ft. FYI, definitely not operator error. My friend and I dive daily and have plenty of experience with underwater housings. Good luck!

I don't know how deep underwater it can go. But if it is anything close to a disposable underwater camera, then I am guessing 10-15 ft. The more pressure it is under, the more likely water is to seep in. I did drop my phone in a pitcher of beer and it was fine.

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

The only real reason this flashlight can not be used as a dive light is the power actuation button on the end. If you add additional O-rings to the tubing/head groups (where applicable), that will seal all the joints beyond any doubt. Unfortunately, the pressure of diving will push past the rubber button on the end. Solve that issue and you will have a moderate depth dive light.

Dear customer, if it is caught in the rain, I ensure it is OK. But if you want to use it Underwater diving, I think it doesn't.

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.
