To what depth is this rated? I.e. how deep can we go and still know that this will float back up?

Between 90' and 120' it is slightly positive to neutral. At 130' it is neutral to slightly negative. Anything shallower than 60' it is definitely positive so be sure it is tethered (wrist strap) if you're going to let go of it.

I would say as long as the bottom lid is closed tight it should float back up regardless of depth, also keep in mind the depth rating of the gopro water proof case (100+ feet).

I've never dropped it in the water, but I'm pretty sure it would sink. It doesn't have any buoyancy qualities that I can see.

Answer here...dont buy it. It goes up but it gets stuck and. Won't come down

You could definitely flip it over and it would float, it wouldn't lay flat if you layed on it though. It would dip in the middle. This float is great! 2nd year, still in great shape.

It will not - it doesn't float, it climbs walls/floor/stairs and can only get things it can travel over on surfaces. It does a great job though, even on leaves, and doing a quick skim of the surface with the hand held skimmer has been pretty easy for us compared to having to dredge up detritus from the pool floor...

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

Well I threw it in a 9 ft deep pool and when I got it back it was like I never threw it in. Works great but if you need further answers check this review http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=4XhBcqHHNpQ

I'd guess no. It's heavy and curved in a way that isn't for laying on the long way. I haven't checked to see if it would float.

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

Hello Well, my husband and I both squeezed onto the float together for a picture. We were a bit wide for the float, but it worked. And it held our combined 420 lbs. with no problem. Very seaworthy. Just an FYI:when on the float, you sit very much above the water. No part of me gets wet unless I splash myself or get splashed. I'm 5'9" and it's plenty long. Hope this helps.

Ours is never completely submerged, because the float triggers the motor before it gets covered with water. I don't know how it would work if it were completely submerged. It would have to be vertical, though, for the float to work.

I have not measured it but I would say about 2.75 inches, we have used it to fry fish and hushpuppies and had enough depth for the fish and hushpuppies to float.

I've had mine for about 6 months and it works great. I don't think it could float around because it is too heavy.

Yes it will! It's air tight. So it traps air in it that's what make it float. Also if I remember right it's submersible for 30 minutes

60ft is what it is rated to. I have never taken it that deep. I only free dive and snorkel. I use it to take video or photos when I snorkel. The deepest I have ever used it is about 20ft. Works great and takes good photos. You can buy a little attachment that you can put on the holding string, that will float if you should accidentally let go of it. I snorkeled closed to what I thought was a rock that turned out to be a sea turtle that suddenly strated moving bout 1 ft away from me. Glad I had the floating strap.

It should float, but that will depend on how much air you squeezed out when closing it.
