SeaLife is introducing a new compact and lightweight underwater housing for Apple’s iPhone, which allows divers to take photos and video with their iPhone down to 40 meters. The SportDiver can encase iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, Xr, Xs, Xs Max, 11, 11 Pro Max, and SE (2nd Gen) models.

The SportDiver is easy to use and offers a large shutter lever and rear control buttons for easy operation, even with dive gloves. Divers can get creative by using advanced camera settings. Adjust Zoom, Exposure (EV), Auto/Manual Focus, White Balance, Tint, Lens selection, RAW+JPEG mode, Live Photo and Background Blur (on available iPhone models). 

The SportDiver housing includes the free SeaLife SportDiver camera app for iOS 12 and up. The user can easily switch between photo and video mode. The SportDiver App uses the iPhone camera technology native to each iPhone® model. 

 

 

 

For the phone’s safety and protection, the SportDiver has a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely hold the iPhone® in place and add shock-protection. The SportDiver has “Dual Leak Alarms” which include an internal moisture alarm and a vacuum pressure alarm which alert the diver with on-screen warnings, audio and LED signal in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised and there’s a loss of housing pressure or moisture is detected. The door of the SportDiver is sealed with a TPE O-ring and a robust cam-lock sealing latch that easily and securely locks waterproof door. 

The SportDiver Underwater Housing for iPhone is also available as SportDiver Pro 2500 Set with Sea Dragon 2500 underwater light and single tray.

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Specialty 22nd November 2020

Posted on

Nitrox November 2020

We will be running our next PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course on Sunday 22nd November.

RE-SCHEDULED for 12th DECEMBER

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

We all want to stay longer on that reef or wreck, it isn’t always our breathing rate that brings us up before we want to, often we still have plenty of air left but our No Decompression Limit (NDL) brings us back up.

Intelligent Colour Correction:
Take back all those vivid colors you remember from your dive up to the surface. Paralenz Vaquita’s patented depth-controlled color correction (DCC) automatically adjusts the white balance of your recording to your current depth.

DCC™ is an intelligent version of a color filter, which is normally made from plastic and placed in front of your camera lens, to remove the green or blue taint in your videos. DCC™ is controlled by the pressure sensor inside the camera and adjusts the strength of the filter to match the depth you are at. It works down to depths of 20m, beyond that, you will need to utilise lights.

Auto-Record:
You don’t even need to manually start the camera recording. You can set your preferred depth level at which the Vaquita automatically starts and stops recording.

Integrated GPS sensor
Paralenz Vaquita logs your exact dive location with your recordings so you can always revisit your dive spot.

Collect Ocean Data: Make every dive count
The Paralenz Vaquita has a unique set of sensors that automatically track valuable Ocean data. Sharing your underwater videos and the Ocean data with the App allows marine scientists to learn more about the Ocean and help restore its health.

Simply edit it and share the video as a story with other divers. The best part: you help save our Ocean with every shared story.
