Can I snorkel with it in the water for longer than 30mins if I am mostly at the surface and occasionally diving to 30ft?

In spite of the other positive reviews, we had some minor leakage in the swimming pool. The clips require some pretty serious pressure to close, and perhaps we had a defective one, but even with the clips closed, we'd get a minor amount (say 5-6 drops) of water every time we tried to do underwater shots. Just make sure all three clips are securely fastened!!

Yes you can keep it under water for a long time. I never took it down more than 12 ft. So I am not sure about 30ft.

As long as you make sure it's closed properly you can leave it under water for hours. I had mine under water for approximately 5 hours 3 days in a row while I was in Vegas.

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

I supposed you could use it underwater, but the ball head unit it's self could deteriorate quickly.

I swam with it in and out of the water for 2-3 hours, however, did not continuously keep it in longer than maybe 10 minutes. I don't think the case would let water in if submerged for longer amounts of time, i think it depends on how much water pressure the phone is able to sustain. Just my personal thoughts, so I could be completely off. This case is amazing for hanging by the pool or anywhere around water. I would recommend it 100 times over.

You can but it will be very uncomfortable because the fins are made to be tight around your feet. Also it is made for snorkeling and NOT scuba. And you can't get a license with it if that is what you are looking for. But it dos work great.

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.

depending on the model, as its made for selected versions only. But also keep in mind that is not for underwater beyond 3 ft.

No!I tend to run out of wind before my arms give out. the snorkel lets me focus on stroke and not have to worry about getting air.The tube is a bit long, but breathing through it is not an issue.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

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

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

Panasonic says it can be used in salt water, but we used ours only one time underwater, snorkeling at about 6 to 8 feet (and rinsed it afterwards), and within a few weeks the battery ground connector was so badly corroded the camera no longer would turn on. Trying to contact Panasonic support now, but their automated "help" system is a joke.

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.

Yes but if you try to dive down deep enough to have to equalize (10+ft), you most likely will blow out the valve in the mask as I did on mine. This set should be strictly used for surface snorkeling and NOT scuba!

Hello, This case is able to be submerged under 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes in accordance with IP67 testing parameters

This mask doesn't leak when used for snorkeling but it isn't designed for lap swimming. I don't know how it would hold up to that since you'd be moving through the water much faster than a snorkeler. I'd think the drag of the water on the mask would be an issue.
