@@yoeri2451 Yes, the alarm goes off when it recognises a pressure leak, which you’ll be able to hear underwater. Sometimes it doesn’t go off when you actually open the housing to remove your phone, but it will flash at you. So I presume the case knows the difference between a leak and when you’re taking your phone out completely? I’m not sure! But opening it out of the water has set the alarm off before. When I was in the Maldives and I was pressurising the case on the beach before our dive, the seal wasn’t tight and the alarm did go off twice. It was due to me not putting enough lubricant around the o-rings. After that, I sealed and pressurised it for the third time and it was completely sealed with no alarm. Hope this helps! 🥰

@@maddiehowarth Thanks for this reply. I did see the LED flash red, but the alarm did not go off. The same happened with my Sportdiver, so i was wondering if this was normal. I thought that by releasing the vacuum with the valve i would simulate a leak where the alarm should go off. The alarm did not go off, but the LED did change to red. In my opinion this is a bit odd, so I just wanted to perform a quick check.

@@yoeri2451 perhaps try and test your housing by sealing and pressurising it to trigger the timer, then release the pressure from the valve at the top. This should trigger the alarm and test that it works. The alarm went off for me during the sealing period, and I presume it would go off if there was a leak after sealing properly. The alarm may not go off when it’s not been pressurised.

@@charlied.7309 I hope you found it helpful! 🥰

@@justwandermaya I should really have AppleCare+ but I don’t 😬 I have travel insurance which covers my tech, but not specific phone insurance. I would definitely recommend insuring your tech, especially when diving with it! I just take the risk, not the smartest!! 😂

It's roughly the same compared to the newest GoPro model, depending on where you buy from. I shop secondhand where I can, and you can get a good deal on tech! I also prefer to have my content readily available on my phone, rather than exporting it from the GoPro app. The GoPro is still a great option if you're not wanting to take your phone underwater 😄

I’m so glad you found this helpful! Thank you for your kind comment, it made me smile 🥹 I will never review a product or service that I haven’t used and genuinely loved using, so I’m glad that this has come across in my first review video! Please let me know if you decide on this case and what you think of it too! 💕

Thank you! Have you visited the Maldives before? 🥰

@@maddiehowarth No, I haven't, but my sister in law goes there and has shown me video of it. Looks beautiful. 💗

@@kimmarkou I hope you can go one time too! It is very beautiful and the ocean is even more so 😍

@@maddiehowarth would love to one of these days!!! 🥰

Hi, thank you! I would definitely practice assembling the day before a dive so you are confident with the set-up. I set up the housing while on the dive boat. I would give yourself at least 20 minutes to set up properly, as if the housing doesn’t seal the first time round, you have to wait another few minutes for the housing to do a seal test again. It depends on how long it takes you to get to your dive destination, it took us 45 minutes by boat so I had plenty of time to assemble it before prepping my dive equipment. Make sure your phone is fully charged before the dives. I wouldn’t recommend sealing your phone inside until an hour or less before the dive, as your phone and the housing will just be wasting battery life. I would also recommend keeping your phone inside the housing in between dives so you’re not rushing to try and re-seal after your surface interval. I hope this helps! 😊

I think some people just chase the money without thinking about the environmental consequences 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even if it’s a small change, together it’ll make a big impact!

@@maddiehowarth And that's why if we take care of the small problems that we have, if they don't become big in the future, then we won't have any problems in our life later.

Finding Nemo prequel? 😂

Isn’t it amazing?? So anyone anywhere in the world can help scientists protect the reef! Thank you for your kind comment 🥰

@@maddiehowarth welcome

@@maddiehowarth Thank you so much for your kind feedback

Best be getting involved in a project! 😜

🥰🥰

I’m so glad you found my video helpful! I hope you love using it as much as I do! Have fun using it on your trip! 😍 The weight of underwater housing, like you’ve mentioned, can be quite an important factor for some! Not only for travelling lightly, but for comfort while holding. You don’t want to be putting extra strain on your wrists when you’re already going to be carrying around heavy scuba equipment!!! Thank you for sharing your reasoning and experience with other housing models, I’m sure other viewers will find this helpful too 🥰

Although finding the waterfall was a highlight, seeing the Aurora Borealis in Wales was something I never thought I'd see, best surprise EVER! 😍

It depends on how frequently you dive and the conditions in which you seal your phone into the housing, but you can tell when to replace the moisture muncher when the vial changes from blue to pink (I need to replace mine before my next dive!)

@@maddiehowarth ah okay, often.. bought it today for snorkeling

@@jokkie007 You should be okay for a few days of snorkelling with one moisture muncher! Just make sure you follow the steps to ensure your housing is sealed properly and keep an eye on the colour of it each time you take your phone out of the housing. I hope you get some amazing photos and videos! 😍

@@maddiehowarth going to try it today, so excited!

Hi, thank you so much, that means a lot! In the underwater videos shown in this video, there isn't an extra light source. However, I did have a dive torch with me on most dives and made a makeshift torch attachment to the housing. I used the torch when I was diving around caves or in lower light conditions, but the footage in the video was all filmed in 5-10 meters of open water, so the sunlight was enough. The footage shown is also unedited to give you an idea of how it really looked underwater. I hope this helps! 😁

Yes you will have to hold it in portrait mode to take portrait photos and videos for reels, but I did that for most of my videos for reels! Just make sure you have the strap attached to your wrist for extra safety and stability when you're filming in portrait 😁

You're welcome! Have an amazing time in Bali! 😍

A great question! It depends on how much time you have in between your dives and if you are able to rinse your case thoroughly before your next dive. I personally kept my phone inside the case for multiple dives, as we only had two dives in the morning with a half an hour surface interval in between. If you have time and are able to clean it, you can definitely take it out, as this can help save the batteries, but make sure you leave yourself enough time to set it all up again, as it takes a while to get your phone in the case and connected, then at least 3 minutes to repressurise the case. Your phone and the case go into 'sleep mode' when you don't use it for a few minutes, which helps save the battery life of your phone and the case. However, you will need to keep an eye on your phone's battery if you are diving all day and make sure it is fully charged before you put it in the case and start your dive. Otherwise, it might not last for the duration of your dives. I've not had to change the batteries in my SeaLife Sportdiver case yet, it does last a while! I hope this helps! 😁

Aw this makes me so happy! I'm really glad you found my video helpful! Good luck with using it on your dives in Costa Rica, that sounds like a dream place to dive! 😍 Let me know how you get on with it!

Hi, this will cover the whole year Jan-Dec, but depending on how much time you get over Christmas, or if you can carry over extra day's holidays or not from a previous year, then some of your holiday days betwen Dec-Jan will roll over to the next year. I personally don't take extra time through to January off, as it does eat into my following year's allowance, but some people like to have a longer break over Christmas and New Year, which is why I included it here. I hope this helps!

Thank you, I hope you found it helpful! The majority of the footage shot for this video was filmed around 10-20 meters deep. I had a DIY lighting set up, which was a lot cheaper than buying strobes, so I will do a video on this for you soon to show you how I did it! ☺

We sure do! Everyone can make small changes to make a difference for our oceans 💙

I'm working on the video as I type this, I will post it hopefully in the next few weeks! So happy to hear that you want to an internship, please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them in future videos 🥰

Aaaa this is amazing! I really hope you love it as much as I did! Let me know how you get on 😄

I couldn't agree more! I hope the video inspired you to start shopping smarter, especially with Black Friday and the seasonal sales coming up soon! 🤓

Thanks, I hope the video helped you!

Imagine if all nearly 8 billion of us did the same?! The impact would be HUGE!!

It's so beautiful, the perfect addition to the home!

Who wants to do an internship here when you can do it abroad and enjoy the sun and the sea instead?!

Thank you! I will be posting weekly, so keep your eyes peeled!

Thank you! There's more to come, so keep your eyes peeled!
