GoPro waterproof: diving and taking underwater pictures

Beautiful shots are created especially with unusual subjects like underwater worlds. If your GoPro is waterproof, it's no problem to dive with the action cam and take exciting underwater pictures or even film while surfing.

Underwater shots are very impressive. First, of course, you should find out if your GoPro can withstand water.

Waterproof: Can I go diving with the GoPro?

To make sure your GoPro model is waterproof, it's best to take a look at the manual or product instructions. However, current versions of the popular action cams are usually waterproof, such as the GoPro HERO 5 Black. Models from the 3+ and HERO 4 generations are also already waterproof in some cases. However, if your GoPro is not suitable for use under water, you can upgrade some models with a special waterproof cover.

Go diving with the GoPro(frames per second)

Fast movements on and under water are particularly well visible if your GoPro records at a high frame rate per second: 60 FPS (frames per second) and more are ideal. For example, the GoPro HERO 9 provides you with a waterproof camera with 4K at 60 FPS.To be able to take underwater pictures with the GoPro on a diving trip, additional accessories may be necessary despite a waterproof model. This is because the standard equipment is only ever reliably protected from water penetration up to a certain diving depth.The following accessories ensure beautiful shots underwater:

1. You can use a red filter so that underwater images with the GoPro do not have a green or blue cast.
2. To prevent the case from fogging up, you can use Anitfog Inserts.
3. Another useful accessory is the Floaty Backdoor: it ensures that the camera floats up and doesn't sink should you lose it underwater.
