## Description

SportDiver is an underwater housing camera app designed for SeaLife SportDiver housings. It enables high-quality underwater photography and video with a full set of controls: lens selection, up to 240fps, 10x zoom, JPEG/HEIC/RAW/ProRAW, EV exposure, auto and manual focus, underwater color-correction filters, and 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios.

The app supports HD/4K/ProRes video, playback, and saving files to the Photos app. A Leak Avoidance System checks seals before entry and alerts you if water intrusion occurs. For more information, visit sealife-cameras.com.

## Review summary

SportDiver offers strong photo/video quality, intuitive setup, and quick post-dive photo access with useful seal-checks and solid support. A recurring downside across reviews is app instability after iOS updates—crashes on launch, live-view lockups, and inconsistent support—which undermines reliability for divers who depend on the system. While improvements exist, stability remains the top concern.

### Pros

- High-quality photos/videos from the SportDiver housing paired with an iPhone, often replacing larger rigs for many dives.
- Intuitive setup and rich app controls, including raw video and manual exposure/focus.
- Immediate access to photos within the iPhone Photos app after diving.
- Seal-analysis feature provides peace of mind by checking the housing seal before diving.
- Responsive customer support and ongoing improvements to the app and hardware.

### Cons

- App crashes or fails to launch, especially after iOS updates; crashes on opening.
- Live view can lock up or fail to capture photos, reducing reliability underwater.
- Inconsistent or slow customer support response, with some reports of no replies.
- Compatibility issues across iOS updates causing ongoing reliability problems.
