Really waterproof? I have tested it in the sink but am taking it to hawaii- has anyone snorkelled with it?

Thanks for responding. I took it to hawaii and used it snorkelling I was afraid it would die but it worked great and took some cool fish pictures. I'm very impressed with it

I have taken it swimming, and took photos under water - not for a long time and probably only two feet below the surface. If we could have held our breath longer and stopped laughing - the photos would have turned out better. It captured bubbles, expressions, and images in a deep, dark pond. And, it still works. Also us it a lot to take pictures when skiing. We always pack a second battery, just in case.

It's water "resistant"; not "truly" water proof. That stated unless you have a real "swimmer" like a waterfowl retriever this is still a very good product.

I haven't used it underwater! I just take it with me on floats and what not! I just use it as protection if my phone were to drop in the water! I think the more expensive ones are the way to go,there more durable and could withstand going underwater for a short time!

It is definitely waterproof. I used it while snorkeling last week and what's good about it is when you retract it after using it in the water, it literally pumps the water out of the pole. I was very impressed. It does not float. I used the lanyard that came with it and had no problems at all. This pole is perfect and would buy it again without a question.

Yes, I was swimming with it for hours at the beach. Just make sure all three seals are fastened tightly, they are like ziplocks. I crashed in the waves and not one drop of water.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!

Fully immersed in water, absolutely not. They say it is moisture proof, not waterproof. I'm telling you this because I'm an electronics engineer, rather than from experience with the actual device.

Hi. Bought this for my husband and he uses it for snorkeling and sometimes swimming. He really likes it.

My wife and I used it on a cruise a few months ago... 4 islands in the Caribbean and no issues whatsoever.I used it mostly in the 3-5 foot range, but my wife was able to dive down while snuba'ing to about 15-20ish or so. (I think that's a little over the recommended depth, but no issues. We were very careful when in shallows for sand getting into the closing mechanism and also followed the cleaning procedures after we got back to the boat. (I also opened up both slot covers just to dry any random moisture out also.)Even the deep pictures came out pretty decently with less light, very impressed. We had some disposables that were absolutely terrible in comparison!

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

Absolutely! We took ours snorkeling in Hawaii and took it into the ocean with us. It also takes very good photos out of the water. The only problem we ever had with it was remembering to switch from underwater photo setting to regular photo mode and then back again. But the camera was great.

Its not. I took it in the shower with me and it still got wet. So I dont see how youre supposed to go underwater with it.

I've taken this thing with me to the beach and no problems whatsoever. Obviously its not meant for more than 9 feet but, i've taken it out snorkeling and it does the job. Another plus is that the case doesn't really affect the call quality or speakers.

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

I wouldn't suggest scuba diving with it, but yes it is water proof. I have left mine in the rain and never had a drop in it. This a a true Pelican Case with a backpack built around it. It's worth the money.
