The SeaLife SportDiver Ultra is a compact and lightweight underwater housing for smartphones. The SportDiver Ultra housing will allow divers to take photos and videos with their smartphone down to 130 feet or 40 meters. The SportDiver can encase most Android models including all larger Samsung S Series Ultra models and Google’s Pixel range, and all iPhones from iPhone10 through iPhone 16 Pro Max. The free SportDiver App is available at the App Store or Play Store, and works with the current and prior generation of the OS. Please review our SportDiver compatibility and fit guide.
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 traveling and offers almost neutral buoyancy in water depending on which smartphone model is used.

The SportDiver Ultra housing features seven 1/4-20 tripod mounts which mounts to any light or light tray with standard tripod threads such as SeaLife’s range of Sea Dragon underwater photo/video lights.
For the phone’s safety and protection, the SportDiver Ultra has a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely hold the smartphone in place and add shock-protection. The SportDiver Ultra has “Dual Leak Alarms” which include an internal moisture alarm and a vacuum pressure alarm which alert the diver with on-screen warnings, audio and LED signal in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised and there’s a loss of housing pressure or moisture is detected.

Yes, the SL405 SeaLife SportDiver Ultra is completely compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. While the standard SeaLife SportDiver is a great fit for standard-sized phones, the Ultra (SL405) model was specifically designed with larger devices in mind. The iPhone 17 Pro Max easily fits within the Ultra's extended maximum internal dimensions. It's a fantastic choice for bringing your phone on a dive. A few standout features we love about this setup: Deep Water Rating: Safely capture stunning photos and videos down to 130 feet (40 meters). Glove-Friendly Controls: The large shutter lever and rear control buttons are designed for effortless operation, even if you are wearing thick dive gloves. Native App Integration: It uses a free, Bluetooth-connected app that lets you seamlessly adjust zoom, exposure, white balance, and lens selection directly underwater. Let us know if you have any other questions, or if you need recommendations for compatible Sea Dragon lighting sets or color-correction filters to complete your rig. Happy diving!
