Love taking underwater pictures? - Things You Should Know

In the sweltering summer, prepare a waterproof phone bag and then go underwater to capture pictures.

By Clair FengPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

It’s summer again, and like me, you pre-ordered that bathing suit months ago because this summer is going to rock like never before. It is now possible to walk into the beach, go surfing, take a deep dive in the pool, bathe in that lake with your friends and capture all these moments directly on your phone. Whether you want to capture fun moments, or the amazing variety of living creatures nature has placed underwater, remember to take the waterproof phone pouch to protect your phone while you’re underwater.

Why do you need a Waterproof phone holding pouch?

You’re probably asking yourself, why do I need to get a waterproof phone holding pouch when I can simply walk into a nice phone store and purchase a water-resistant phone which I can use to take all the underwater pictures I need?

Here are a few reasons why you might not want to do that:

Most phone companies that have produced water-resistant phones will tell you that the particular model was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. This means that all the favorable conditions were set right before the phone was tested and confirmed to be water resistant. After you have purchased a phone and started using it, minute wear and tear occurs, the phone may have dropped to the ground a couple of times, and there’s no telling what the condition of the phone is after it has been in use for a while, but it is certainly not in the favorable laboratory condition it was at testing in the company. This is enough reason to use a water-resistant phone holding pouch.

These companies will also give you a maximum amount of time the phone should stay underwater. This means they cannot assure you that the phone will still be water resistant after a set time has elapsed, this doesn’t give you flexibility and ease, are you going to set a timer for yourself while surfing or playing in the beach and run out of the water once it is time? That is certainly not a comfortable stance. It is a lot easier to know that even if you have to stay on the beach all day, you rest assured that your phone is protected from the water every single minute, and your mind can be at ease while you focus on having fun and capturing the moments all on your personal device, no greater feeling.

They will also tell you that there’s a particular depth the water-resistant devices must not go beyond. This just puts a limitation on how deep you can go which is usually not very much, for those that want to go deeper and connect with their inner nature, this puts a hurdle on how far down the water you can go. Using a waterproof phone holding pouch will ensure you can go as deep as you desire and stay as long as you want. Also, most phone companies with water-resistant phones will tell you that even though the phone is water resistant, you shouldn’t unnecessarily expose it to water and there’s a reason, they know that after the devices have been used for a while, they cannot guarantee the phone will still be in the favorable conditions it was when testing was done.

How to use a water-resistant phone pouch.

This accessory has been made very intuitive and easy to use. The amazing thing about it is that it can fit a wide array of devices from iPhones, not Android devices, so if you buy a new device, you can use the same water-resistant phone pouch. Once you put your phone in and slide the lock, it is protected from getting wet, the touch screen is highly responsive and you can enjoy your day, take all the pictures you want, and record all the videos you want. I’ll certainly be adding the waterproof phone holding pouch to my summer item list.
