The SportDiver Ultra will hold most Android models including all larger Samsung S Series Ultra models and Google’s Pixel range, and all iPhones from iPhone 8 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 phone’s 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 Sea Dragon 2500F Photo-Video light is a powerful 2,500 lumen light with three brightness adjustments and an underwater-friendly color temperature that will make your photos and videos shine with color.
