Summer is here. The sea is waiting, and with it the colourful seabeds, schools of fish, drifting jellyfish, and sunlight filtering through the water. Images you have always carried in your mind — and that you can finally bring home, simply using the smartphone already in your pocket.
How many times have you been snorkelling or diving and thought: "I wish I could photograph this"? How many times have you seen a spectacular seabed and found yourself with nothing to capture it?
Your smartphone already has an extraordinary camera. Multi-lens, video stabilisation, ProRAW mode. What was missing was a safe way to take it underwater. SeaLife has the answer.
SeaLife SportDiver: your smartphone ready for the sea
SeaLife SportDiver housings are designed to protect your smartphone underwater and let you take photos and video just as you would at the surface — with the full power of your phone's native camera.
The construction is tough: polycarbonate, stainless steel, anodised aluminium, optical glass with anti-reflective coating. But it is not heavy — buoyancy in water is almost neutral, and in your holiday bag you will barely notice it.
Control is via the free SportDiver app (App Store and Google Play): no subscription, no ads, no data collected. Zoom, exposure, white balance, lens selection — all at your fingertips, even with dive gloves. The housing connects to your phone via Bluetooth® Low Energy 5: no cables, no physical contact.
Before entering the water, the Dual Leak Alarms system checks that the seal is perfect: a pre-dive vacuum pressure alarm and an internal moisture sensor alert you if anything is wrong. You can dive with the peace of mind of knowing your phone is safe.
Three models, three profiles — find the right one for you
SeaLife offers three SportDiver housings, designed for different needs. Here they are.
SportDiver S — For beginners and holiday-makers
The SportDiver S is the latest addition to the range: bold colour, lightweight (680 g), accessible price. Waterproof to 30 metres — more than enough for snorkelling, freediving and standard recreational diving. Compatible with iPhone from iPhone 10 (X) onwards and many Android models.
If you want to start shooting underwater without breaking the bank, or if you are looking for a housing to pack away and forget about, the SportDiver S is the right choice. Simple, reliable, ready to go.

SportDiver — The perfect balance
The SportDiver goes down to 40 metres, weighs 680 grams, and is compatible with all iPhones from iPhone 11 to iPhone 17 Pro and with the main Android models. In the box you already find the red colour-correction filter — essential for recovering the warm tones that water absorbs from the first few metres — and the rigid EVA travel case.
For the passionate diver who wants a complete, ready-to-use kit capable of handling any recreational dive, this is the ideal choice.

SportDiver Ultra — No limits
The SportDiver Ultra is the top of the range: compatible with virtually any smartphone (including the largest models, up to iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S Ultra), waterproof to 40 metres, with 7 × 1/4-20 mounting points for adding Sea Dragon lights, wide-angle lenses and trays. The choice for those who want to build a true underwater photography system around their smartphone.

Shoot, share, remember
Summer holidays last just a few weeks. Memories, hopefully, a lifetime. Bringing home images of a Lampedusa seabed, a turtle encountered by chance, a school of fish that surrounded you while snorkelling — these are the photos you will look back on in ten years.
SeaLife SportDiver gives you the tools to do it, safely, with the phone you already have.
Happy summer, and happy diving. 🤿
