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 🙂

Great support!

I had an issue with the housing. The support staff were friendly and very helpful. Got housing back fast and functioning like new!

LOVE the Smart Phone SeaLife Housing Case!

Several Years ago, (first year they were available?!) I purchased the Housing for my wife’s IPhone, since She loved taking pictures while diving; She seldom was able to include herself in the photo nor able to get the nicer shots with an older GoPro. I purchased the case for Her as a present, but ended up using it most of the time after Her seeing what great pics and video I took with it! Less than a year later, I bought a SECOND case so She could still take pics and video of her own (i.e., Both of us with our own while diving! The past few years, I’ve had many opportunities to dive without my wife present, thanks to a “job” 😊 allowing Me to visit several ideal diving locations! On a recent dive, I noticed my case locking knob becoming so loose, I could spin it 360 degrees around the housing with it open, yet the case ALWAYS pressurized fine after the Timeout. I thought this could be tightened, but wanted to confirm by calling Bjorn for assistance He gave me over the phone a few days ago, In fact, I purchased BOTH cases from Bjorn, answering ANY questions I had for the product over the years. Bjorn told me the cap on the knob was merely a cover, easily able to pry off with small screwdriver, displaying the small locking phillips screw. I was easily able to tighten the screw "just enough" to return the locking knob back to it original tightness. Bjorn recommended a small amount of silicone glue over the screw to keep it in place, and minimize any moisture from entering just the locking knob. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN for your “over the phone service,” Bjorn! I can tell You since owning your fine product, I'm pretty sure my satisfaction using your case has had DOZENS of fellow divers ordering one! In fact, at the Beaches Resort several years ago, one of the Dive Guides CANCELLED his expensive camera order to purchase a SeaLife phone housing at a greatly reduced price, after seeing the excellent pics and video I was able to show him. As a courtesy to fellow divers on guided trips the past few years, I’ve taken Family or Dive Buddy Group pics to airdrop or e-mail to fellow Divers I just met! I wouldn’t be surprised if many of those pics or videos I’ve shared sold several more of this EXCELLENT product! Thank You again, Bjorn! RB

App freezes mid dive

iPhone 16 pro max, app freezes mid dive with no way to reset it until you take the phone out of the housing. Complete waste of money. Latest version of sport diver app and using iOS 16.4

Mehr Potenzial möglich

Es ist nicht möglich 48MB und dreifach Linse trotz ProRAW gleichzeitig einzustellen
Dadurch geht Potenzial der iPhone 17 pro Kamera verloren.
Außerdem ist es nicht möglich 16:9 in Kombination mit ProRAW zu nutzen.

App stürzt ab, wenn man Raumvideo Beta ausgewählt hat und dann auf die einstellung „Video“ klickt.

Don’t use the Sealife Ultra

The app keeps freezing, the shutter stops working. Absolutely not fit for purpose. I am on my second Sealife ultra case and it is doing the same thing It has ruined my last three dive trips. I am asking for my money back when I get back to the UK

Offline Einstellungen

warum kann man die Kameraeinstellungen nicht mehr offline vornehmen, ohne vorher die Kamera in das Gehäuse zu tun?
Die Einstellungen müssten doch in der App machbar sein.
Die allererste Version der SportDiver App war wesentlich intuitiverer.

Gut, aber Verbesserungen möglich

Gute App zusammen mit Gehäuse. Einfaches Setup und Verbinden von Gehäuse und iPhone (15 Pro Max). Leider nicht alle Log Videomodes verfügbar. Fokussieren unter Wasser recht schwer, da kein Touchscreen, geht aber manuell über Pfeil Tasten.
Verbesserungsvorschlag: Gehäuse mit 1-2 Custom Buttons versehen, die man frei belegen kann, z.B. mit Wechsel Kamera, AF und MF, Video und Fotomodus, etc.
App soweit stabil.

Excellent Product

SeaLife Sport Diver housing and application have been a pleasure to work with. The company clearly believes in continual improvement. As they get feedback from customers and beta testers about any bugs, they promptly fix them. Their updates to the features and functionality have been very worthwhile improvements. The company seems to have built its reputation on both great products as well as customer service, and it shows! When I dive I bring both my bigger rig which is a full frame camera and housing as well as my Sport Diver. More often than not I get better results from the SportDiver because I’m relying on the high quality point and shoot nature of my iPhone 17 ProMax. My hat is off to the company and its management for designing and standing behind such solid quality products.

question

how do you export the photos and videos from the app to your gallery

Excellent

Customer support is outstanding - I had a few issues with a new release that they were able to help me with within minutes. The photos I took on my first dive trip with the housing were fabulous and the app was pretty easy to use for a novice.

Great support

The app was perfect until the iPhone update then it was not working. After contacting support they sent me a beta that was a perfect fix and I was up and running quickly. Support was super helpful. I love the product and the app is easy to use.

App kaputt

Nach einem Update stürzt die App beim Öffnen sofort ab. Neustart und Deinstallation helfen nicht.

Crashea

Crashea al abrir en iPhone 17 pro con ios 26

iP17Pro - App lässt sich nicht öffnen

Beim Versuch, die App zu öffnen, ist kurz der Start des Programms zu sehen, dann schließt sich die App wieder. Etwas, was nicht funktioniert, kann nur mit einem Stern bewertet werden.

Terrible app

The robot support is a joke

Bad way to start

After accepting access settings that app force crashes and will not open. I have uninstalled several times and restarted my phone several times. It’s not us it’s you SeaLife. Stop telling people to restart their phones.
