Yes very easy to use, completely waterproof. But i don't recommand to buy.....it does'nt work in cold.water. And they do mension it in the instructions. So mine Nevers workt in Mexico and belive me it was warm water for me.

It does go under water just fine. We didn't buy the camera for the quality, but rather for taking on trips where we wouldn't want a quality waterproof camera stolen. Like a cruise. It takes pictures well enough that we can capture the moment. At the same time, it can get dropped in the water or take pictures while snorkeling, whatever we need. AND...we don't have to worry about it being very expensive.

Yes - I used it for snorkeling in the ocean and then used it again the next day at the beach and it worked fine. The manual says to rinse it off after use in salt water.

Yes! It absolutely waterproof and floating as well.I'm very happy and secure with that device on my sea kayak.

In short, ok. It's not designed to get wet at all. That said , there's a ton of YouTube videos about pontoons and floats and such. There is a company that will actually coat the electronics to waterproof them as well. On a practical note, I crashed mine into my pool one day... With my go pro hero 3 uncased attached! I was trying to get some low angle who's of my rottweiller barking at it, and the prop wash made it unstable enough that the skids followed by the camera went into the water. Two props made it in but then I hit full power and it actually pulled up out of the water and righted itself. The camera stopped when it hit the water. I landed it and blew everything out w compressed air, 30 min later back flying, 4 hours later filming again as well! I wouldn't be so aggressive in salt water or where I couldn't get it quick, and I think it's gonna fly w the camera cased as much as possible. It's worth theflight time sacrifice for the safety of the cam. Buy it! It's awesome!

It's supposed to be, but I've never used mine in water. Good Luck & Merry Christmas!

As a newer Go Pro user, i cant give my opinion from experience, but i did use the drying inserts, while snorkeling and in humid Jamaica and everything worked out great. I did use the filters some, but didn't notice a huge difference, didn't have any issue getting them to fit. I opted on the side of better to have it then not have it. Haven't used them since.

Yes this is waterproof. I really never take mine off. I shower in it, wash dishes, clothes, go swimming etc. Obviously I wouldn't go diving or anything where the water is deep with more pressure, but general day to day activities and normal exercising is no problem.

i used it for scuba diving, so even though there is no time limit, it was rarely in the water more than an hour at a time anyway, but some friends borrowed it for surfing and snorkeling. There was no problem. It's robust!

I have worn mine snorkeling in salt water twice and it is fine. (I didn't mean to do it, but it was clipped to my swimsuit and I forgot it.)

I used it to take underwater pics with my iPhone in Cozumel while snorkeling. Never a drop got in. Perfectly dry.

I bought it for snorkeling in Cozumel in March. The water was about 75. It was great for that. The neck was a little loose but that was fine for what I needed it for.

I would strongly suggest NOT using this for underwater... It gets microscopic tears easily and leaks easily. Plus, if you plugged in earphones of any sort, you'd break the seal. Basically this is a thin rubbery sleeve you put on your phone and seal with a sticker... You can't charge it or use headphones with the sleeve. And after getting it and trying for Hawaii, I do not trust it... Too whimpy and easy leaks... I'd only use it to protect against splashes or sand at the beach. I'd never take it actually under water.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

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 it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.

It depends on if your child can swim. This is a swim vest, not a life vest. I put my non-swimmer in it and he went completely under water. It's not a flotation device. If your child can swim already, it might be good for snorkeling - it is thin and light weight.
