The camera is waterproof - to how many feet/meters? If I snorkel or scuba dive with this will I destroy it on the first trip?

Im not sure I only used it about 6 feet underwater, but the case certainly feels as if it could go as deep as you want, it feels very secure.

The camera is NOT waterproof, but it does come with the waterproofcase, I was too afraid to try it in the water during my trip to Puerto Rico.

if it fits I see no reason but its rated to 6 meters and I have taken it snorkeling to 15 feet. Its a pretty nice camera

Good question. I do free diving and 10 meters presents no problem. Its seal is super water tight. What I don't know is what the depth limit is. I'd write to GoPro about that. They should know.

I have had mine for 3 weeks and it has been in the ocean at least a dzoen times for more than an hour each time--both surfing and snorkling. I put my old camera in it and it fit perfect and pictures are awesome. NO leaking so far. BEST 12 dolllars I spent. I do not see many good reviews for waterproof cameras...they seem to brake alot and out of water do not take good pics or vids. Mine works awesome in and out all the time. What a genious invention!!!

Have not used the camera underwater. I don't think it is really meant for that and it is not a touch screen model.

It should be fine.. You can take pictures underwater. It is sealed very well! It tells you in the manual what to do. Hope this helps.

It depends on the settings: in my usual 720p medium quality the battery lasts for ~ 3 hours;in 1080p and high bitrate it will go to about half of this. Please note the camera is not heavy-duty waterproof, it will resist well to any rain or accidental drop in some water but not for scuba-diving. I am using it on a motorcycle for several years (I had Roam 1, Roam 2 and Roam 3) with no problems, but submerge it to more than 1 meter and you will have a dead camera.

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

This camera is a piece of crap. I don't think it's designed to go under water for diving.

This camera would surely be damaged by submerging in water. Look for something water PROOF if you're going to be using it on the water. A waterproof bag will be fine if you're just transporting it on the water.

Not really. A dedicated dive camera is better .. this one's depth rating is pretty shallow. 40f ~10 meters or so .. Most scuba activity is 10-30 meters (or more)

I believe it says 3 feet so for snorkeling only, but I got video around 10 feet down when I went snuba diving-- not SCUBA diving!

I have not paid any attention to the warranty conditions. Water resistant? ..... I live in the Puget Sound area and have left the camera out in the rain for as much as four days at a time with no problem.

It is NOT waterproof or water resistant. You can look for a camera enclosure and that will work. The range will be reduced as it will be in a metal box. To prevent this, get a cheaper plastic box.

can't say for sure have not used it that far out yet. camera for me works ok so far but I can not say for sure if the integrity of the cable under water is good. I hope it is just a defective cable you have. that's all I can tell you right now.
