Is the underwater housing perfect for extreme depths?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Eva. The Ocean Reef CCD Micro Camera housing is designed to be durable and reliable, but it’s not necessarily perfect for extreme depths. Our product is rated for depths up to 100m, and while it has been used in some deeper dives, we can’t guarantee its performance beyond that range. If you’re planning to dive in extreme depths, we recommend thoroughly checking the housing and camera for any signs of damage or wear before use.
