How far does this go underwater when you use it? Was thinking about it for coastal use but there are oyster reefs in some of the shallow parts.

The distance this would go under water would depend on the rider weight as well as items inside the boat.

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

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!

I used mine in the ocean and it did great! Although unless the water is super clear you won't be able to see anything.

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 it as shallow as 10 feet. Most divers I talked to said it is best from 10 to about 80 feet deep.It does make a big difference in taking out the greenish tint and allowing the blue to really pop.

I had mine more than 2 years now and I guess it should be fine. It works fine underwater. So without using it should not compromise it's function.

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..

Took it to Hawaii. Took it to bout 20ft. Of course pictures were better when closer to surface but it worked well for the price. Not sure what depth it is rated.

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

No - it is not designed for underwater use. I've had mine for 5 years and it works fine. I carry it in a plastic container designed to protect a pack of cigarettes at the beach. I carried it all over Italy with no damage, but not in the water.

Hi xterradiver, Kendall here from The Friendly Swede! To answer your question the best I can, the material itself is not designed to be submerged in water for long periods of time. It can withstand wet weather conditions but it is not designed for scuba diving. As a scuba diver myself, I know how important safety is while underwater. As much as I would love to recommend our product to you, I'm not sure it would suit your needs as a scuba diver. I hope that helps! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at the customer service link below. Thanks! All the best, Kendall / The Friendly Swede

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high aspossible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would nottake that chance.Joseph

Good question, but something you would have to check with the manufacturer about, I only use it at sea level.

I think it should go underwater as advised, but mine get wet after a week of normal use in pool and beach.

Not deep enough for real fish of substantial size or plants. Unless you had it shade the water would get to hot in South for them. Also mine bit the dust after one season.

I would read the spec as I believe it says it can be underwater for so long. I have put my in the pool several times but did not keep it under water for to long.
