What's New in SportDiver

V3.6.1

July 6, 2026

1: Added HD@24 and 4K@24 settings to the Video Resolution Menu. The 24fps frame rate is for cinematic used by movie makers for a slightly softer, motion and less “real-time” feel that looks more artistic and story-driven. 2: Fixes crash when shooting Spatial Photo in 16:9. A not supported message pops-up instead of app crashing. The Aspect Ratio setting is unlocked when Spatial lens is selected, allowing users to easily change the setting from 16:9 to 4:3. 3: Remove "Video Format Reset" setting from the SportDiver iOS app. This function is no longer applicable.

Great product with amazing support

The sport diver app is great — very straightforward to use, which is nice if you’re 50 feet underwater. The unexpected surprise is topside: the staff support is amazing! They helped me solve a problem (that was my fault) right before a long diving trip. I’m really impressed.

No 25 fps PAL

I am a cameraman and i’m suprised that the app does not support PAL 25fps and 50fps. Europe standard. Please upgreat for us. Thanks

Worked a treat

For a first timer without experience, this worked great for me. Super sharp photos and videos from my iPhone 16PM. Very ergonomic under water. Couple of niggles:
- the provided laniard is too short
- the provided batteries died on the second day with not enough warning

Battery usage on the phone was no issue for me. Following the manual’s advice of switching to airplane mode and quitting all apps let me do a full day’s diving (3 dives) without opening the enclosure, and still have ample power at the end of the day. But next time, I’ll use a brand new set of batteries for the enclosure every day, unless i’m certain to be able to open the enclosure part way through the day.

Manque d’option liée au téléphone

La base est super chouette et bien adapté pour une facilité d’utilisation sous l’eau. Malheureusement nous n’avons pas accès à toute nos options que nous offre les iphone sous l’eau… Ayant le 17 pro et adorant faire de la macro, j’ai été déçu de voir que je ne pouvais pas utiliser l’option des lentilles macro de mon iPhone alors qu’elles sont hyper puissante !
Si les développeurs pouvaient y penser à la prochaine mise à jour ce serait super chouette pour tout les utilisateurs qui, comme moi, raffolons des toutes petites bêtes qu’on a sous l’eau 🙂
