I want to use it when I dive. How good is it fr that and how far down can you go with it?

The standard housing that comes with the camera is rated for a depth of 40 meters (131 feet). You can buy the "dive housing" for 59.99 rated for 60 meters (197 feet). In most cases the standard housing works great. Most people are not diving past 40 meters. The picture quality is amazing!

Good question. I do free diving and 10 meters presents no problem. Its seal is super water tight. What I don't know is what the depth limit is. I'd write to GoPro about that. They should know.

The standard Case will go I believe up to 140 feet or just around there. Though I have not dove with mine there are lots of videos on youtube and some really great footage. One drawback is that in the higher megapixel settings there tends to be a fish eye effect which can be corrected is video editing software however if you would like to avoid that entirely just shoot in a lower resolution setting. Though the unit is HD chances are you will not need to shoot in that high of a resolution unless your shooting for TV non internet applications.

I don't now how far you can go whit it, but i can tell you thata the definition of de underwater videos is amazing. Look the specification to se how far you can go.

Its a buoy not a dive handle. I don't think its been tested for use at depth as its mainly suited for use on the surface for preventing the camera from permanently sinking to those depths. If you intend on using it for diving you may be better off using a float designed for that depth

We hit 90-95 feet with it on a dive and it had no problems. Note the camera is not included the mask just has a built in housing.

I bring this down to the pool almost everyday. It has worked wonderful for me. Even going underwater, it never has stopped playing. You shouldn't have any problem with it in the sea.

I haven't tried it, but I believe it would work in water of depths around one to two feet. Sounds like a fun time. Let know who it works

It isn't too bad. My husband and I carried it (a bit awkwardly) with baskets and fishing gear for maybe 1/8 of a mile. The size makes it awkward, but I think you could get it up a balcony. We don't leave ours inflated while storing it, either. Also, if you get a lot of wind, leaving it inflated may cause it to blow away.

It is not that short. Except if you are a big guy. I have 1.80 meters and it is ok for me. Ps: I'm not using the keyboard section of the table. Maybe if you will use it , it will be kind of short.

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

ive take mine to 100 feet.. i think it made for up to 120 or 130.... there is a diving one, a shallow one and a open one..

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

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

I've used it on back to back dives with no problem, each about 40 min each. The battery has lasted each time for both dives, total of about 1 1/2 hours. I expect it will last about 2 hours continuous recording. I also have the 8 gig chip. Each dive is slightly less than 4 gig. It breaks the video up into 4 to 5 avi files about 500 to 800 megs each. As far as a charger, it charges off a laptop mini usb when downloading. Or you can use a charger with the correct mini usb voltage, 4.75 to 5.25 volts. Unfortunately there is no way to tell the level of charge, just a change in the color of the light. I really like it, granted it is not a GoPro. I mount mine on the left side of my mask strap. If you tilt your head slightly left the regulator bubbles will come out your right side and not get in the video. It picks up fairly good sound also, another good reason to direct the bubbles to the other side. It also picks up sound on the boat and on the surface if any one is close or you can narrate yourself. Practice aiming in a pool with your laptop handy. For me I aim it one click in toward my head, which works out to about 15 to 20 feet in front of me. Remember if you pick up something and want a close up hold it over toward you left eye (in my case I nounted it on my left side). The colors are really good and the depth of fiels is awesome. Also a free tip. Use the little short lanyard and tie off on the mask clamp as a safety strap. I did not, and bumped the release on the way off the boat and it fell off and is floating out there in St Maarten somewhere. I had to buy another one. Sorry I was late answering, been in Jamaica diving!!!

Yes, i've had mine for a year and a half now. Probably have 40lbs worth of dive gear in it, and i carry my gun on top of the back, pinched between the handles. The mesh is super strong, the sides are the most resilient. No issues with it yet.

Yes, turn it just enough for it go on and off. I had no problems with it on a few dives.

Hello,I've been using the Diver for swimming. I don't think it can be used for anything deeper.Please be aware that the Diver does not have a "random" play feature and therefore all songs are played in the same order - not a big deal for me since I loaded it with 3MB of music but it may be important.Good luck

To be honest - I have no tried it. I only use it when I am drifting in pretty shallow waters. Sorry I am no help.
