I noticed there is an exclusion for water damage of any kind - does this apply to products that are specifically designed for underwater use?

Really I don't know. I will read all the notes included at the 4 year Accidental Protection . Thanks Marcus

Yes, it should work underwater BUT it does not ( at least it didn't for me! ). But yes, it is waterproof as long as it is in the waterproof housing.

In my experience using it above the surface after a dive i have not had a problem with water drop affected pictures.

Of course not. Its not rated for underwater use either. Place it under an eve in a protected area, you'll be fine.

No, they aren't sealed in any way. Water can get in through the switch ports, the camera port and the microphone port, as well as the micro SD slot. Whether or not immersion in fresh or pool water would do permanent damage is hard to say. Lithium batteries don't cope well with short circuiting, so the most likely failure if immersed in water would be battery failure. Immersion in seawater would almost certainly corrode the internals.

This product is not rated for marine applications. While it is water resistant I would not trust it in my bathtub let alone any more significant body of water. Please read the product information for this item, it is asking for trouble to use it for something that it is not rated for.

I would say SOL. You may have broken the gasket on the rear door which may have caused a leak. I had an earlier version which went in about the same way you described with screen failure. I did not take mine underwater however. I would look into sturdier models which may have extended warranty periods. You should seek out other opinions. I did purchase this model again but will not subject it to water.

The safe must be specified as waterproof to cover water damage. There is better info on stack on's website about their warranties.

NO. I would contact the company directly that makes the product about this and not trust what feedback you get here. I use mine out in the elements, but I would never use it under water it's not totally waterproof.

I haven't used it underwater, but it is plastic. The only thing I would think is its accuracy in that situation for white balancing your shots or video. That would require some testing.

I've dropped mine in the pool before without any negative effects. It should still essentially be usable under water.

This is what Progressive Industries website has to say: "Can be exposed to the elements, however, may not be submerged." I have used it in the rain with no problems, I think it's a great product. I would buy another one in a minute.

If you retain air inside it after sealing it closed... it is supposed to be completely submerseable for underwater shots... I never used it for that. I used it in the Peruvian Amazon to per event humidity damage. It was a little difficult to use though.

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.

My son filmed an underwater GI Joe scene in the bathtub without any problems. Not sure if I would try to get to the stated waterproof depth, but the short answer is yes.

You probably can, however given the price point I feel sure that it is not sealed against water if submerged. I would suspect that drying afterward may be a bit if an issue and if the metal is not rustproofed (which I doubt), then I would think that it's life span would be substantially reduced. If you are going to be using a tripod or monopod in an underwater situation you may be better advised to find one that is sealed for that purpose. It may cost a bit more, but would probably be worth the investment in the long run. Just my 18 cents.
