The SeaLife iPhone Case for Underwater Photography

The SeaLife iPhone case, otherwise known as the SeaLife SportDiver, transforms iPhones and other compatible smartphones into underwater cameras. Gone are the days of spending the big bucks on a dedicated underwater camera system made up of an expensive camera, housing and all of the accessories that go with it. Now, for just a few hundred dollars, you can harness the power of the camera in your pocket and take it diving. 
 
These days, everyone has a smartphone with very capable cameras. The image quality they can produce has never been better, so using an underwater smartphone housing makes perfect sense for most hobbyists who don't need all of the bells and whistles that come with big underwater camera setups.

What's Great About the SeaLife iPhone Case

The thing we love most about the SeaLife iPhone case is its versatility, it can be used with any iPhone model from the iPhone 7 and above, and it even works with most Android models too! You can check your phone's compatibility over on SeaLife's website. And the best part? You get all of this versatility without breaking the bank! The SeaLife iPhone case can be bought by itself or as part of the SeaLife SportDiver Pro 2500 Set, which comes with the Sea Dragon 2500F Photo-Video Light and is the best value package for people who want to take the best underwater photos possible.

The SeaLife iPhone case is also depth rated to 130ft / 40m which is more than deep enough for most recreational scuba divers.

Made from a mixture of polycarbonate, stainless steel, aluminum and optical grade glass, the SeaLife SportDiver smartphone housing is incredibly robust. It will protect your phone from any knocks, scraps or dings, as well as keep it safe from water damage caused by leaks. The housing has a built-in vacuum system and comes with a vacuum pump, so you can ensure it has a good seal and is fully watertight before taking it in the water. Should the seal fail, a moisture alarm will detect any leaks and set off an audible and visual alarm so you know to take action immediately. 

Features

The SeaLife iPhone case has been designed by divers, for divers. It has a number of really great features that make using it on a day-to-day basis easy and hassle-free. We're going to outline some of the things that make the SeaLife SportDiver underwater housing one of the best smartphone housing options. 

Twist locking mechanism

Opening the case to install and remove your smartphone couldn't be easier. There is a large, easy to handle locking mechanism on the side that you simply twist to unlock the housing when there is no vacuum. The back opens on a hinge for easy assembly and disassembly.

Mounting plate

You can combine the SeaLife iPhone case with a number of different accessories thanks to the mounting plate located at the bottom of the housing. You can add lights, trays, handles, or anything you like. If you buy the SeaLife SportDiver Pro 2500 Set, which comes with the Sea Dragon 2500F Photo-Video Light, you'll attach the light via this mounting plate, but you're not limited to only SeaLife lights. You can attach others too. We've put together a SeaLife SportsDiver package comprised of Kraken lights that also works great.

Big control buttons

The large control buttons are placed conveniently on the side of the case to make using them while operating the device as easy as possible. Their size makes using them with gloves on easy, and the shutter button is also oversized to ensure you have full control in any conditions.

Built-in vacuum valve

The vacuum seal is a critical part of the SportDiver's design and is the first line of defence against leaks. By creating a vacuum with the included pump, you can check for any leaks before getting in the water. The system will detect the pressure drop and activate an audible and visual alarm should the seal fail.

Removable red color-correction filter

The first color that disappears underwater is red; that's why it's important to reintroduce it using a red color-correction filter. The removable filter on the SeaLife iPhone case comes included as standard and helps your smartphone's camera reproduce accurate, vibrant colors when shooting photos or videos underwater.

Rubber grip tabs

As we already mentioned, one of the biggest advantages of the SeaLife smartphone housing is its versatility. It works with a wide range of smartphones. This versatility comes from different-sized rubber grip tabs, which can be added or removed from the inside left-hand and bottom edge of the case to accommodate different size phones.
