can it go underwater

I think it should go underwater as advised, but mine get wet after a week of normal use in pool and beach.

YES. The camera is fully submersible and functional underwater. There is even an underwater mode to eliminate the blue "tint" from underwater pictures and bring out the vibrant colors of whatever you are shooting underwater.

It is not really waterproof and you wouldn't want to submerge it in water. It may be ok to get a little water on it, but there are no seals to keep water from getting to the batteries and circuit board.

I think 'water resistant' is the proper description. I would not take it into the bathtub with me. There is a rubberized plug provided with the Boom that covers the jack and usb port. I assume it protects them from entry of moisture but again, I haven't triedd to drown the thing and wouldn't advise testing the limits. It's not for scuba diving, but I think it will survive an afternoon by the pool, on wet grass, or in a light rain.

no, it has weight to it which helps it travel thru the water. Child must be able to swim underwater.

If you have a battery and a place underwater to secure the transducer, there should not be a problem.

No - it is not designed for underwater use. I've had mine for 5 years and it works fine. I carry it in a plastic container designed to protect a pack of cigarettes at the beach. I carried it all over Italy with no damage, but not in the water.

Yes. I've put it on a pole and held it underwater and I've taken it swimming. It hasn't leaked yet and I've taken it down to about 15 feet.

Yes it does, it is waterproof up to 33 feet underwater, just make sure if you use it underwater to dry it off completely before opening the part where the battery is so it doesnt mess up the hardware inside!

NO!!! It has a great o-ring seal but it is only splash resistant, not submersible.

I would read the spec as I believe it says it can be underwater for so long. I have put my in the pool several times but did not keep it under water for to long.

I'm no expert but I don't see why not. After all it's designed to spend its life submerged in water.

I've never tried it, but I think so! It wouldn't register touches underwater, so you would have to touch the recording button first and then lower it into the water. And be sure to close all the flaps! Especially that charging port on the bottom.

It did well underwater. Even the video did good. There are two doors on the battery compartment. I made sure that I closed them individually so that I knew they were both locked in place. Some people have complained about leaks and I'm suspecting that not getting the inner door locked in may be what causes it. I can't prove it though. I should add we only used it in pool water so it was pretty clear not sure how it would do in murkier water

It has gaskets that seal the unit, but I can't say it's water proof. It's probably water resistant so that if you dropped it into a bucket of water, there would be no harm. As a diver, I don't think I'd take this under water.

Yes you can submerge it just make sure the everything is screwed in tight especially the battery compartment. Good Luck!

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

Hi,Thank you for your question. Yes, videos and pictures can be taken underwater with this case.
