How to Capture the Perfect Underwater Photo with Your Phone
In recent years, smartphone photography has become incredibly popular, and underwater photography has emerged as a growing trend.
Many smartphones today come with water-resistant features thanks to technological advancements, but these alone aren't enough to guarantee flawless underwater photos. With the right tools, like a waterproof phone pouch or waterproof phone tote, you can unlock the full potential of your phone's camera and capture breathtaking underwater shots.
In this blog, we'll explore the essentials of underwater smartphone photography and how you can make the most out of every dive.
Why You Need a Waterproof Pouch for Underwater Photography (Even for Water-Resistant Phones)
Even though many phones now boast water-resistant features, they are not truly designed for prolonged underwater use.
The ratings on most phones (like IP67 or IP68) mean they can survive short dips in the water, but this doesn't make them reliable for deeper or extended underwater photography. That's where waterproof phone pouches and waterproof phone totes come in.
Here's why you need one:
Protection from Water Pressure: As you dive more profoundly, water pressure increases and your phone's water resistance might not hold up. A waterproof phone pouch provides an extra layer of protection.
Extra Peace of Mind: Even with a water-resistant phone, knowing your expensive device is safeguarded is comforting. Gecko waterproof phone totes and similar bags are designed to protect your phone from unexpected water exposure.
Enhanced Usability: Water can cause touchscreens to become unresponsive. A waterproof pouch keeps the phone safe while allowing you to use physical buttons to capture photos and videos.
In summary, investing in a waterproof phone bag protects your phone from water and other potential underwater hazards, leaving you free to focus on getting the perfect shot.
Best Waterproof Pouches for Photo Quality and Camera Access
Not all waterproof pouches are created equal.
Some may affect photo quality, while others may make accessing your phone's camera functions more difficult. Here are some recommendations for the best pouches to enhance your underwater photography experience.
ShellBox Diving Case: Specifically designed for diving, the ShellBox Diving Case is ideal for underwater photographers who want to go deeper than surface shots. Its sturdy design and high waterproof rating make it perfect for exploring reefs, pools, or even underwater caves. The case has buttons that give you complete control of your phone's camera, so you don't need to rely on the touchscreen.
Hiearcool Waterproof Pouch: One of the more versatile options, the Hiearcool waterproof phone bag allows you to access your phone's volume buttons to take photos. The case is simple to use, affordable, and provides excellent surface and shallow water photography protection. It also supports various phone models, making it a popular choice.
Gecko Waterproof Phone Tote: This Pouch stands out for its robust protection and ease of use. Its explicit, responsive material allows for quick access to your phone's screen and volume buttons without compromising the clarity of your photos. Plus, it comes in different sizes to accommodate various phone models, making it a must-have for travellers and underwater photography enthusiasts.
Choosing a suitable waterproof phone tote is critical to ensuring photo quality and accessibility to your phone's camera functions while submerged.
How to Use Volume Buttons to Take Underwater Photos
Touchscreens become unreliable underwater due to the liquid's interference with capacitive sensors. This is where your phone's physical buttons come into play.
Many smartphones allow you to use the volume buttons as a shutter button for your camera, making it easy to snap photos even when the touchscreen isn't responsive.
Here's a simple guide on how to take photos using the volume buttons:
Check Your Phone Settings: On most phones, the volume buttons can be set to function as a camera shutter. Make sure this feature is enabled before going underwater.
Position the phone in the Waterproof Pouch: Ensure that your phone is snug inside the waterproof phone tote and that the buttons are easily accessible. Pouches like the Hiearcool waterproof pouch make it easy to access these buttons without fumbling.
Frame Your Shot and Press: Use your volume buttons to capture the image when you've framed the perfect underwater scene. The tactile feedback from pressing the buttons is much easier than operating a touchscreen underwater.
This method gives you greater control, allowing you to focus on the photo rather than fighting with unresponsive controls.
Additional Tips: Cleaning the Pouch, Handling Lighting and Depth Challenges
Achieving stunning underwater photos requires more than just an excellent waterproof pouch.
Here are some additional tips to help you maximize your underwater photography potential.
Clean the Pouch Regularly: After each use, clean your waterproof phone pouch thoroughly to remove any sand, salt, or debris. This will prevent scratches on the Pouch's surface, which could affect photo clarity. A dirty or scratched Pouch can reduce the sharpness of your images.
Manage Lighting: Underwater environments tend to be darker than you'd expect, and the deeper you go, the less light there is. Stay close to the surface where natural light is abundant, or use artificial lighting if necessary. Also, focus on how light refracts in the water to avoid distorted images.
Handle Depth Challenges: Be mindful of water pressure as you go deeper. It can distort your phone's touch responsiveness and even affect the Pouch's integrity. Most waterproof phone bags, such as the Gecko phone tote, are ideal for shallow water photography. Opt for a more robust diving case like the ShellBox Diving Case if diving deeper.
Experiment with Angles: Water creates unique opportunities for reflective and dynamic shots. Try capturing subjects from below or use the water's surface for reflections. Practise different angles and perspectives to enhance the visual appeal of your underwater photos.
By keeping your Pouch clean and experimenting with lighting and angles, you can create professional-quality underwater images that capture the beauty of the aquatic world.
Conclusion
Underwater photography with your smartphone is an exciting way to explore a new realm of creative possibilities.
With the right gear, like a waterproof phone pouch or tote, you can take stunning underwater photos without worrying about damaging your phone. Following the tips outlined in this guide, including using the volume buttons to capture shots and paying attention to lighting and depth, you'll be well on your way to capturing perfect underwater memories. Happy snapping!

Printed first parts of the Animal Crossing Boxes. These were printed in #InLand Luminous PLA since these glow in the dark. The next parts will be printed blue and all of them will be coated in clear resin when finished so that saves time not having to paint them.
