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.

Be sure to do the water test EVRY time before you are going in the water. I take it kayaking usually but the other day I went swimming a little and it did great! I wouldn't trust it diving deep or staying wet for a long time but I wouldn't ANY CASE!

I would call it water resistant...not water proof. It will only hold water out from entering case but only for short period of time in swallow depths of water

I took it to Hawaii and went snorkeling with it several times. Works awesome.

Water-PROOF ... NO ... Water-RESISTANT ... YES! You dump it in the pool or a wave rolls over it ... you're out one speaker! :-)

The manufacturer claims it is waterproof to some military standard. Various people have put it underwater with no bad effects; I have no reason to push my luck. I have no doubt it would be fine, say, in a backpack in rain.

Water proof? I am not sure what you mean. Yes, it is rain proof. It is built to mil spec so it can be used outdoors. Maps are a very touchy subject. Another commentor jumped all over me on maps. Go to Garmin's website, look for maps under the Oregon 650t. The U.S. is divided into several districts. You have to buy the map you want at 100.00 a piece. I was not interested in traveling outside the U.S. so I didn't look for those maps. Sorry, I can not offer an exact answer. Waterproof means many things to many different people. Are you planning on using it to dive with or just considering dropping it in a mud hole? You can use it in the rain. Anything else, I would not try.

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.

They dont claim it to be waterproof but water resistant. Yeah it is pretty resistant against water. Doesnt distort sound. I sure wouldnt submurge it though.

No; in fact I've had mine in the ocean for a couple hours without an issue. When I was done, I rinsed it off in fresh water and everything was great. Just take care of the camera. It's very rugged and takes excellent pics both on the surface and underwater. If it's abused, it can break just like anything else. The seals are the key; keep them clean (lint and dirt free) and only open the camera when you need to and you'll be fine. It has a good locking mechanism that should prevent accidental opening in the water.

Yes too. I took mine to Hawaii last year and used it for snorkeling. Video and still photos!I for some reason touch the lense and get smudges on it. Not sure why but just a freak of habit when I'm picking it up. :-)

I haven't submerged it myself. The on/off switch and USB plug area are only covered with a rubber flap. I can't imagine it be totally waterproof in that area. It is a good little speaker. Hope this helps?

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.

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.
