When scuba diving, do bubbles from the regulator frequently block what is being filmed?

Only used it for snorkeling it does tend to hit surface if your not conscious of it

No actually works pretty good would recommend the only problem is the camera moved on my dive and the line of sight was slightly lower than where I was looking so I missed a lot of activity.

I used this camera for both SCUBA and snorkling in seawater without any problems. I did rinse the outside with fresh water when I finished, just as I would with my dive gear. I believe this is one of the best price/feature cameras for its price range.

I only used it while snorkeling and riding a jet ski. When sealed properly it was perfect in those conditions. Perhaps you should contact the manufacturer with your question, because I do not know how water pressure during diving would affect the seal.

I have only used my Gopro camera underwater once. The insert did seem to expand slightly. Not sure if that was just because of being squeezed inside the case though. The case itself seems to be sealed very well, but in the end I felt it was worth the little money to keep my mind at ease to protect my investment in the camera. Plus are you willing to chance getting fog when shooting a scene you may not be able to reproduce.

I removed the screens in the aerator on mine as it restricted the flow and caused a non-uniform water pattern. And I would rather not have a bunch of bubbles in my water glass. Try it either way.

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

yes, but some programs are blocked / protected. A blue screen will appear saying some thing indicating the program is protected. All of my recordings are from movies that I have saved on my DVR. Most will record but some will not. Strange, but some times the blocked programs still record even though I get the waring display. If a warning display appears don't give up. Try "write to disc" anyway. you have nothing to loose. I have a ton of DVR recordings. This DVD recorder was well worth it to me. I only wished I purchased a VCR / DVD recorder to make it easier to record that old box of VCR home movies I have. yes, but some programs are blocked / protected.

O wish I could answer for you. We used the camera while at the beach and the camera was never underwater for that length of time. It never leaked, though.

NO. And it shouldn't. This works on sonic vibrations. You'll see slight ripples in the solution, but shouldn't see bubbles.

This device is not waterproof. There are special waterproof containers for cameras, and most scuba shops rent cameras that will work underwater.

It did well underwater. Even the video did good. There are two doors on the battery compartment. I made sure that I closed them individually so that I knew they were both locked in place. Some people have complained about leaks and I'm suspecting that not getting the inner door locked in may be what causes it. I can't prove it though. I should add we only used it in pool water so it was pretty clear not sure how it would do in murkier water

camera has been used underwater (swimming pool). video was relatively clear. acceptable. sound was muffled due to case and water affects on sound. overall, very pleased with camera performance underwater

Mmmmm...never thought of that. My husband has a GoPro and got a different extension that telescopes but did not use it under water. Sorry I could not be more of a help

I had my ipad in a case. I had to take it out because it blocked my camera. I am not sure what is going on. I watched the screen while I filmed. I did not have a problem. I would recommend a remote mike because while I could hear what was said on the video, it was nt best quality. I was filing from 10 to 12 feet away so I could get the whole stage.

There is a waterproof housing but it is not very substantial. Mfgr's typically will not warranty a dive camera unless there is an obvious defect as the responsibility for keeping the seal clean and lubricated is on the user. Don't go cheap, buy an ikelite housing and you will be glad you did for years to come. I am on about 5 years with mine, I clean and lube the seal before every week long dive trip and have never had a problem. I hope this helps

In my experience using it above the surface after a dive i have not had a problem with water drop affected pictures.

Love the camera. Don't know as I never tried the GPS underwater. But my experience with GPS is the signal is weak and I would tend to believe a shallow depth of water would block signal. With that said got try it and let me know.
