The heavy-duty housing is constructed of polycarbonate, stainless steel, aluminum and optical grade glass.  The SportDiver S housing weighs 1.41 pounds (641 grams), and is lightweight for travelling and offers almost neutral buoyancy in water depending on which smartphone model is used.

The SportDiver S features a bold new color and a very appealing retail price, perfect for anyone that wants to enter the undersea world and capture amazing photos and video underwater.

Engineered for absolute reliability and ease of use, the SportDiver S allows divers and snorkelers to capture stunning photos and videos with their smartphones down to depths of 100 feet (30 meters). Constructed from premium polycarbonate, stainless steel, hard-anodized aluminum, and optical-grade glass, the housing weighs just 22.6 ounces pounds (641 grams) on land while offering almost neutral buoyancy in water, depending on the smartphone used.

Ergonomically designed for comfortable handling and ease of use, the SportDiver S features a large shutter lever and rear control buttons, enabling effortless operation even while wearing dive gloves. Photographers can expand their creativity by utilizing advanced camera settings such as zoom control, exposure adjustment, auto/manual focus, white balance, lens selection, RAW+JPEG mode, and much more, depending on the phone model.

The new housing works with the free SportDiver camera app, available for both Android and iOS platforms. The app when combined with the housing, turns a smartphone into a highly capable underwater camera, and easily switches between photo and video modes, harnessing the native camera technology of the smartphone to deliver the high-quality images and videos users have come to expect. Additionally, the app's power-save mode temporarily turns off the camera and dims the display, conserving battery life while keeping instant accessibility with a single touch.

The SportDiver S housing uses Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless technology, which automatically connects to the user's smartphone when opening the SportDiver app. The free SportDiver app is compatible with iPhones and Android smartphones, which are available for free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under the name "SportDiver”.  Unlike most other apps, the SportDiver app does not request your email address or personal information, ensuring your complete privacy.  The SportDiver housing features ultra-low power consumption, powered by two AAA batteries that last over 50 hours of continuous use.

For enhanced imaging results, three optional removable underwater color-correction filters are available for purchase; Red for restoring natural underwater colors, Magenta for color correction of green water, or Yellow for deep blue water and fluorescent lights. The filters can be attached or removed while submerged and include a safety tether to prevent loss.

SeaLife also offers optional lenses and a 52mm/67mm lens mount to further expand divers imaging creativity. 

Designed for added lights and versatility, the SportDiver S housing features three 1/4-20 tripod mount options, which allows it to be seamlessly mounted with any standard tripod-threaded light or light tray, such as SeaLife's own Sea Dragon underwater photo/video lights. 

For best results, SeaLife recommends using an attached light source when diving with the SportDiver S.

Ensuring maximum protection for the user's smartphone, the SportDiver S incorporates a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely holds the smartphone in place, providing shock-protection for small and larger phone models.

Protecting your valuable smartphone remains a top priority. A Leak Avoidance System features a pre-dive pressure test to ensure the housing is airtight and waterproof before entering the water. In addition to the pre-dive pressure test, an internal moisture sensor activates an on-screen warning in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised. 
  
The SportDiver S features a new interior design that protects sensitive components and electronics from damage in the event water drops accidentally enter the housing when opening the door after diving.  The anti-fogging "Moisture Muncher" capsule prevents fogging and internal condensation. 

The housing is sealed with a high-temperature resistant silicone O-ring seal and a robust cam-lock sealing latch, ensuring a secure, waterproof seal.  Extra O-rings and O-ring lubricant are included. 

For larger smartphones, including Samsung’s range of Galaxy Ultra models and Google’s Pixel range, users can select the deeper diving (130’/40m) SeaLife SportDiver Ultra, which includes a red color-correction filter, seven ¼-20 accessory mounts, and a custom-fit EVA travel case.  All SeaLife SportDiver models function with the same SportDiver app, and adapt to all SportDiver accessories.
