Frequently asked questions about underwater housings

How do I choose an underwater housing for my camera?

The most important factor is compatibility with your camera model. Most underwater housings are designed for a specific camera body. Once compatibility is confirmed, the choice depends on the housing manufacturer, the depth rating and the accessories required for underwater photography or video. For a more detailed explanation, see our guide on choosing the right underwater housing.

Do all cameras have underwater housings available?

No. Underwater housings are typically produced for popular camera models such as mirrorless cameras, DSLR cameras, compact cameras and action cameras. Some cameras have multiple housing options from different manufacturers, while others may have only one or none available.

Do I need a port for my underwater housing?

If you use a mirrorless or DSLR camera, the housing usually requires a port system. The port forms the front optical element between the lens and the water. The correct port depends on the lens you use. Some setups also require additional components such as extension rings, zoom gears or focus gears so that the lens can be operated through the housing. Compact cameras, action cameras and smartphones normally use housings with a fixed port.

Can I use a smartphone with an underwater housing?

Yes. There are underwater housings designed specifically for smartphones. Some models are universal systems that can fit several phone sizes. Using a dedicated smartphone housing can provide additional protection compared with the water resistance of the phone itself, especially in saltwater environments.

What depth can underwater housings handle?

The depth rating depends on the housing model and manufacturer. Many housings for compact cameras and entry-level systems are rated for recreational diving depths, while professional aluminium housings can be designed for deeper diving. Always check the depth rating specified by the manufacturer before using the housing underwater.

Why do underwater housings have leak detection or vacuum systems?

Some housings include leak detection sensors or vacuum systems that help verify that the housing is properly sealed before entering the water. A vacuum system allows the user to remove air from the housing and confirm that the seals remain airtight. Leak detection sensors monitor moisture inside the housing and can provide a warning if water enters the housing.

Why the Divevolk waterproof smartphone case is Our Most Popular Choice

The Divevolk Seatouch underwater housing for smartphone is our most popular model for a reason: it allows full control of your smartphone underwater. You can use your phone's camera just as you’re used to, but you can also use all other functions of your phone underwater. You can write notes or review information, type messages to your dive buddy, and—when you’re back at the surface—in case of an emergency, you can even make a phone call without removing your phone from its case. Divevolk combines convenience and functionality to keep you connected and safe during your underwater explorations.

It is compatible with many different types of smartphones:  Iphone, Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Huawei, Honor, OPPO, VIVO, Xiaomi, REDMI, Realme, and Sony Xperia smartphones. Check the most up to date list of compatible phones in the productdescription of the housing in our webshop.

Sealife SportDiver Ultra Underwater Smartphone Housing

The SeaLife SportDiver Ultra underwater housing is also very popular. The Sealife SportDiver fits most Android phones, including big ones like Samsung's S Series Ultra and Google's Pixel range, as well as all iPhones from iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Pro Max. The difference with the Divevolk Seatouch case is the use of the SportDiver App, to make photos and videos underwater. Other functions of your smartphone are not accesible. maximum depth is 60 meters. 

Filters, lenses and video lights
