Friends, I really want to shoot the underwater world of the Red Sea. I don’t have a special camera, but I know that there are waterproof phone cases.

Now phones with water protection, 1-2 meters can be removed without a case.
Previously, I used covers from Aquapack, they showed themselves normally, they never leaked.

You can’t remove anything sensible with your phone under water, but any case will allow you to dive for a couple of meters. Don't bother too much. It’s better to order a Chinese action camera with an underwater box on aliexpress. It's not too expensive and it's pretty decent quality.

I agree with *andreyvip*.
In the boxes on the phone there is BUT:
- there are phones with a capacitive screen, which may not always work under water and under a cover (you need to follow the indication of the record or photo).
- phone cameras, when shooting video, do not track autofocus well, especially with sudden movements, the video will be blurry until autofocus works.
If you have a camera, you can find a box for it.

I would not risk with a case, it is better to buy a specialized camera.

It’s better and cheaper to buy a phone case in Sharm. We bought it in October in the old city. Before buying on the beach, we asked which one is better and more reliable. models and 3-5 each, but they bought a specific one and were satisfied. Before shooting, lowering the phone into the case, it is necessary that there is air in the case and the case does not stick to the screen in order to exclude the arbitrary inclusion of other functions. Before immersing in water, the phone was turned on for recording and then filmed under water. For ten days I shot a lot of interesting videos and the quality is not bad enough. Now the second stage we bought an action camera with an aqua box in May is comparable.

yuliya.yurdakavushan, I can recommend how we checked the phone case, put more cotton pads inside the case to remove makeup and close the case and hold it longer in the sea. If the cotton pads are dry, you can safely use a phone case. You can, if you want to check before the trip, also lower the case with cotton pads into a bath of water.

I agree with 0676307776. We bought a cover in Sharm for $ 4. It doesn’t leak, we use it for a year (we visited Sharm 8 times a year).

Any cover, I took it on Aliexpress with delivery of about 0.80USD, scored 5pcs for 4USD and it’s not the cheapest with 2 plastic latches, but the problem was still there, the sensor didn’t respond, then it zoomed in, etc. To deceive, you need a little air between the sensor and the film + turn on shooting before diving, then cut off and edit the excess + when the phone is completely immersed, you need to not pull it for about 5 seconds to set up autofocus and shoot in good sunny weather (at noon), preferably without waves, then shooting quality is obtained. In the morning and in the evening the quality of the shooting is not very good. Moreover, if you want to take pictures, I used the volume buttons or up or down without a difference during the shooting. I also got a Chinese LEEco 5.7 6/128G camera 8/21Mpx on Ali for 200USD. I swam 20 times, the cover never leaked, the main thing is not to drop it, put a strap on your neck, otherwise you will dive deep later

Another tip for boxes (cases) for both phones and cameras.
Before shooting, lower the box into the sea EMPTY and CLOSED for a few minutes to equalize the temperatures.
Sometimes a warm box with a camera is quickly taken, jumping into the water - the plastic becomes cloudy or sweats, I had to float up and wipe it off.

You can't shoot underwater with a phone in a waterproof case! As long as you shoot the bottom from the surface, everything will be fine, but as soon as the phone is turned to shoot into the distance and even dive more than a meter, the water will start clicking through the film and random operations will begin on the phone, as a rule, shooting stops immediately. This can be avoided by inserting something between the screen and the film of the hermetic case. But then you won't see anything. I adapted by cutting a hole in the thick polypropylene foam for launching the camera application, for starting and stopping recording, a few holes for focusing and rough orientation of the frame. With my finger, I push harder than water. Thus, at a depth of up to 6 meters, spontaneous triggering was avoided, but in general, a hermetically sealed phone case is protection against splashes and so as not to drown, no more. I have a TAYOGO WaterSport Armband Case IPX8 black for a 6.5" phone.
