Best Smartphone Underwater housing 2021

Why buying a separate underwater camera when you can get an underwater housing for your Smartphone?!

Nowadays pretty much everybody owns a smartphone with a pretty decent camera built into it. Why not buy an underwater housing for your smartphone?

Sony-NEX-7

Underwater cameras are expensive

The camera ranges from 500,- to 3000,- US$ or even more and the underwater housing for the exact Camera model is about double the price of the Camera.

Any cheaper way?

So is there any cheaper way to take decent underwater pictures you might ask yourself? Yes there is a solution to this.

Don’t expect to get the perfect shot with your smartphone and an underwater housing but you can get very close to it with the right choice of an Underwater housing.

Sola Video Flashlight

Lightning

No matter if it is just a smartphone with an underwater housing or the real DSLR Rig, a Torch, a snoot or video lighting does help to make these shots even better and worth your invested money.

Choose wisely

However you need to choose wisely depending on what kind of smartphone you have.

There are a few good underwater housings for smartphones on the market but you need to buy the one which is compatible with your smartphone otherwise it might not fit inside the underwater housing or you are not able to control your smartphone correctly.
So make sure that the underwater housing description says that it is compatible with your smartphone.

Depth rating

You will need to check the rated depth of the housing too as depending if you just take it for snorkeling or if you take it for freediving or even scuba diving. For Scuba- and Free-Diving we recommend a depth rating of a minimum of 30m.
For Snorkeling you’ll probably be fine with around 15m depth rating of the underwater housing.

Smartphone App

The proper underwater housings for your smartphone often come with an app you’ll need to install to be able to use all functions from the outside of your housing.

Leak system

Vacuum Port system

The latest housings come with a built in vacuum port system. As soon as you close the lid the underwater housing will let you know by audio or visually or both that it has a vacuum and so that there is no leak and it is safe to dive with.

O-Ring Smart Phone housing

Underwater Housing O-Ring

Be careful with the main O-Ring of the underwater housing keep it clean of sand hair and salt and maintain it with silicone grease if the manufacturer suggested so.

Waterproof pouch Smart phone

Waterproof pouches

There are waterproof pouches for smartphones on the market they are rated to a depth of 30ft/10m, your phone can be used in extreme wet conditions and stays protected against dust, corrosion, sand and mud.

BUT

they are not very reliable also Camera functions might not work underwater due to the water pressure and that the pouch is made of soft PVC.

However they are “okish” for Snorkeler who stay on the surface!


So here are our recommended underwater housings for smartphones
