The all-new SeaLife SportDiver Ultra Underwater Housing for iPhone and Android is a cutting-edge underwater smartphone housing designed for superior performance and reliability with larger mobile phones.
Only a few cm larger than the original SportDiver housing, the Sportdiver Ultra Housing is universally compatible with virtually all smartphones, including larger and later devices.
The SportDiver Ultra can encase most Android models including all larger Samsung S Series Ultra models and Google’s Pixel range, and all iPhones from iPhone 8 through iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The SportDiver Ultra Housing, engineered with an unwavering commitment to excellence, allows divers and snorkelers to capture stunning photos and videos with their smartphones down to depths of 40 meters.
The heavy-duty housing is constructed of polycarbonate, stainless steel, aluminum and optical grade glass. The SportDiver Ultra housing is “heavy duty”, but not heavy, weighing less than 1.78 pounds (808 grams), it is lightweight for travelling and offers almost neutral buoyancy in water depending on which smartphone model is used.
The SportDiver Ultra is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling and ease of use. It features a large shutter lever and rear control buttons, enabling effortless operation even while wearing dive gloves.
Photographers can unleash their creativity by utilising advanced camera settings such as zoom control, exposure adjustment, auto/manual focus, white balance, lens selection, RAW+JPEG mode, and many more, depending on the phone model.
Please review SportDiver compatibility checker and fit guide.

The SportDiver housing includes the free SeaLife SportDiver camera app for Android and iOS and up and uses the Smartphone camera technology native to each model. The SportDiver Ultra Housing automatically connects to your smartphone and the SportDiver app using Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) 5 wireless technology.
