The heavy-duty housing comprises Polycarbonate, stainless steel, aluminium and optical-grade glass. And while the SportDiver Underwater Smartphone Housing is “heavy duty”, it is not heavy, weighing less than 641 grams, and is lightweight for travelling and offers almost neutral buoyancy in water depending on which smartphone model is used.

Free SportDiver App
The SportDiver housing includes the free SportDiver app. Unlike other smartphone housing apps, there are no annoying in-app purchases or ads. You can easily switch between photo and video modes. The SportDiver App uses your phone’s camera technology native to each phone model. The app supports the present and previous versions of OS, the app is updated according to new versions of the OS.
The App Playback mode shows full-size photos and videos with vertical thumbnail strips to easily locate your images. Videos start playing automatically when selected. All files are also saved to the phone’s camera roll. The SportDiver housing automatically connects to your smartphone and the SportDiver app using Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) 5 wireless technology. No cables or buttons touch the phone, and it offers ultra-low power consumption for both the phone and the housing, which is powered by two AAA batteries that last over 50 hours of continuous use.
Enhanced image results
For enhanced imaging results, a removable underwater colour-correction filter is included with the SportDiver, which restores natural underwater colours. The filter is easily attached or removed underwater and includes a safety tether to prevent loss. The SportDiver housing features triple 1/4-20 tripod mounts, which mount to any light or light tray with standard tripod threads, such as SeaLife’s range of Sea Dragon underwater photo/video lights.
Safety and protection
For the phone’s safety and protection, the SportDiver has a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely hold the smartphone in place and add shock protection. The SportDiver has “Dual Leak Alarms”, which include an internal moisture alarm and a vacuum pressure alarm which alert the diver with on-screen warnings, audio and LED signal in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised and there’s a loss of housing pressure, or moisture is detected. The door of the SportDiver is sealed with a TPE O-ring and a robust cam-lock sealing latch that easily and securely locks the waterproof door. To prevent interior fogging from residual moisture, the SportDiver uses the anti-fogging agent “Moisture Muncher” capsule, which prevents fogging and internal condensation.
