Care & Maintenance

Always inspect and clean the O-ring before every dive, perform the recommended vacuum leak test, and rinse the housing thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Allow the housing to dry completely before opening, and store it with the O-ring clean and lightly lubricated. Using the included Moisture Muncher capsules helps reduce condensation during underwater use.

Expert Insight

The SportDiver has become one of the most popular underwater smartphone housings because it combines the convenience of your phone's continually improving camera technology with a purpose-built dive housing. For many recreational divers, it offers image quality that rivals dedicated compact underwater cameras while allowing you to edit and share your photos immediately after the dive. Pairing the SportDiver with one or two Sea Dragon photo/video lights dramatically improves color, sharpness, and overall image quality underwater.
