I want to take my iPhone snorkeling in Hawaii to take photos underwater

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17
Hello again ~ Not to sound rude but only informative… I know all there is to know about this subject as I am a Dive Master with 40 years of experience. One of my rated specialties is underwater photography. I would not under any circumstances use my iPhone in any depth of water. I have underwater cameras from base models to exceptional ones for photography in and around water. Some good cameras are available now at a decent price point to use snorkeling. You do as you would like as you have been well advised here. If you think I am submerging my iPhone to test this for you…that’s a big “No”Take care.

Hello~ It is not for going swimming with period. Please don’t come on this site and contradict Apple’s statements. Would you like to provide everyone who follows your lead with a new iPhone? I think not. What you are saying is nonsense…utter nonsense.

You know scuba and snorkel are complete opposite in terms of position if your down on the sea floor it’s darker,heavier and rough but when your at the surface it’s brighter lighter and less distorted because your taking photos of the dark areas when your at the top
Well, i have taken my phone many times in pool and other water bodies, not salty though and after getting water out of speakers, it was in new condition, mine was 14 pro. So i wont say it is only for splash or spill. I have take many underwater pictures but not in depth though. Salt water could cause erosion of protective layer.

So, you've been lucky. But, eventually, you won't be. I hope you're putting money aside for a new phone.
Alright why does it say it can last for thirty minutes what does that mean can it operate for 30 minutes or can only sit there dead on the seafloor
Try the surface and bottom compare and please let me know
Ziplock bag isn’t waterproof
No iPhones are not resistant to sea water
Ok and what supports that conclusion?
Besides, IP68 rating, they are water resistant in fresh water to a maximum depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. Apple is extending it to 6m, but the conditions don’t change
I have an iPhone 12 Pro max
I was just clarifying what device we are debating about I wasn’t trying to be hostile or flex all I have to do is put my phone into rice
What about silica dioxide packets from beef jerky
But what measure should you do if you drop it in the pool mistakenly for 5 minutes
hello
Are iPhones resistant to sea water?
