I sent them an email and they say it is only waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

So what do you do with it for diving? Put it in another case or something?

I make a small canister that I sell that you can fit this along with a few other things in it that is rated to 400fsw. That is what I use.

ok lets dive to 130fsw 72.6 psi
face of spot is 12.5 square inches
72.6 X 12.5 =907.5 pounds of force on the face of the unit.
Dont think it is rated for that.

Althugh not as good as dago's canisters, I have used old blown flashlight casings in the past for this... this unit might fit in a 4 D cell flashlight housing good to 150 or so.

If they added a text function to this it would be invaluable... "all is well...love you." or "avalanche, two skiiers buried" would add a lot of function to it.
