Some underwater moments are too good to keep to yourself. The colour, the calm, the little details you replay in your head on the way home. DiveVolk SeaTouch is built to help you capture those moments using the camera you already know best: your smartphone - with real touchscreen control underwater, so it feels natural from the first dive.
We’re excited to welcome DiveVolk to Mike’s Dive Store, bringing in the latest SeaTouch 4 Max housings, travel-ready kits, new accessories, and one of the most exciting parts of the SeaTouch experience: UWACAM, an underwater camera app designed specifically for SeaTouch users, including features like UWACOLOR processing and Vizalyzer AI for species identification.
If you’ve been searching for a touchscreen underwater phone housing, an iPhone underwater housing, or an Android underwater housing that’s simple to use but has room to grow, you’re in the right place.
What is DiveVolk SeaTouch?
SeaTouch is an underwater housing system that lets you use your phone underwater the way you use it on land. Instead of relying on limited button controls, SeaTouch is built around touchscreen usability - meaning you can tap to focus, change modes, review footage, and even use compatible third-party apps.
That makes it ideal for divers and snorkellers who want a setup that’s familiar, quick to pick up, and genuinely fun to use - whether you’re planning tropical reef dives, heading out for cold-water adventures, snorkelling on holiday, or simply capturing beach and pool days with the family.
Choose your SeaTouch setup
SeaTouch 4 Max Plus (Black or Pink)
The SeaTouch 4 Max Plus is the easiest place to start if you want maximum simplicity with a serious depth rating. It’s designed to give you touchscreen access underwater and keep shooting easy and intuitive. It’s rated to 60 metres and built for broad compatibility with iPhone 12–16 series and most Android smartphones, supporting phone dimensions up to 180 × 82.5 × 11.2 mm.
This is the “grab it and go” choice for divers, travellers, snorkellers, and anyone who wants their phone to feel like a proper underwater camera without changing how they shoot.

SeaTouch 4 Max Plus Ocean Kit
If you want a travel-friendly underwater phone housing kit that improves your results straight away in seawater, the Ocean Kit is the one people gravitate to. It pairs the SeaTouch 4 Max Plus touchscreen housing with a wide-angle lens and a red filter, giving you a wider view and more natural-looking colour for reefs, wrecks, and bigger scenes.
It’s compact, powerful, and neatly packed into a case that saves luggage space - perfect if you’re building a lightweight setup for dive trips and snorkel holidays.
SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum
The SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum is the premium option for divers who want extra durability and more ways to build out a full underwater photo and video rig. It’s made with an aluminium alloy body, includes a built-in lens adapter arm, and offers mounting options like dual thread mounts and a cold shoe, making it easier to add trays, tripods, lenses, filters and lights.
You still get the SeaTouch core experience - touchscreen control underwater — with touchscreen operation down to 40 metres and full housing waterproof rating to 60 metres. Platinum also supports larger/thicker phones up to 180 × 82.5 × 11.2 mm, with camera lens thickness up to 17 mm, which is a big win for users with chunkier phone camera modules.

New release: External Bluetooth Shutter for SeaTouch 4 Max Series
If you love the idea of touchscreen shooting but also want a more “camera-like” shutter feel, the DiveVolk Underwater External Shutter is a brilliant add-on. It connects via Bluetooth and helps you capture photos and video on land or underwater with a more ergonomic, tactile control - especially handy if you’re filming for longer or wearing gloves.
It’s designed for the SeaTouch 4 Max series, supports third-party photography apps, offers flexible mounting options for handles and trays, and is rated for use down to 60 metres, with long-life durability designed for high press counts.

Build your SeaTouch rig: filters and lens mounting
Once you’ve chosen your housing, a couple of add-ons can tailor your setup to your water conditions and shooting style.
The SeaTouch 4 Max Coloured Filters help you adapt to different environments and lighting, giving you more flexibility when you’re chasing natural colour and mood in your footage.
The SeaTouch 4 Max Plus Expansion Clamp with Lens Adapter is the “gateway” accessory for building out your setup over time, making it easier to mount compatible lenses and expand your rig for wider scenes, more creative shots, and future upgrades.
iPhone 17 Series compatibility (adapters available)
DiveVolk has also released iPhone 17 Series adapters, making the SeaTouch 4 Max Plus and SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum compatible with Apple’s iPhone 17 range. It’s a simple add-on that helps future-proof your kit so you can keep your housing when you upgrade your phone.
The app that changes everything: UWACAM (built for SeaTouch)
One of the most exciting parts of SeaTouch is that it doesn’t just protect your phone underwater - it keeps touchscreen control intact, which opens the door to apps designed specifically for underwater shooting. UWACAM is a standout example, built for use with the SeaTouch system to give smartphone shooters a genuinely powerful underwater camera experience.
If you want to turn your phone into a more professional underwater camera setup without adding bulk, UWACAM is where things get really interesting.
UWACOLOR: smarter colour correction, not “one-size-fits-all”
Underwater colour loss is real, and it changes with depth, light and conditions. UWACAM’s UWACOLOR processing is designed to be dynamically adaptive, adjusting correction based on the scene so you can chase natural-looking colour more consistently.
UWACOLOR can be applied while filming for immediate results, or used after the dive in playback to fine-tune your clips and keep your workflow flexible. It’s a practical approach for anyone who wants better colour without turning every dive into a full editing project.
AUTO mode and PRO mode: easy when you want it, manual when you need it
UWACAM is designed for different kinds of dives. Some days you just want simple point-and-shoot shooting with big, easy controls - that’s where AUTO mode shines, especially for snorkelling and relaxed dives.
When you want more creative control, UWACAM’s PRO mode brings in advanced tools that help you dial in exposure and colour with far more intention. It’s ideal for divers who like to learn, tinker, and gradually level up their shooting - without needing a separate camera system.
Upside Down mode: a clever fix for macro angles
Smartphone camera placement can make close-to-the-bottom angles tricky, especially for macro-style subjects. UWACAM includes an “Upside Down” orientation option that flips the interface so you can position the camera lower and get more eye-level, pro-looking angles on small subjects.
If you love nudibranchs, gobies, shrimp, or anything tiny and detailed, this feature is a quiet game-changer.
Filmmaking features: Log, LUTs, and smoother grading
For creators who want that polished, cinematic look, UWACAM supports advanced filming workflows, including options like Log capture on supported devices and LUT-based looks. That means you can create consistent styles across trips and conditions and make colour grading easier when you’re back on the laptop.
Vizalyzer AI: turn your footage into a species log
UWACAM also integrates with Vizalyzer AI, letting you send a capture for analysis so you can identify marine life and build a more meaningful “what did we actually see?” record after the dive. Because internet doesn’t work underwater, this is typically something you’d use back on the boat or at the hotel - but it’s a brilliant way to turn your camera roll into a personal species log, especially if you love fish ID and learning as you go.
Navigation and metadata tools (useful beyond filming)
UWACAM also offers practical overlays and tagging features designed for real dive use. Think compass overlay while filming, and location tagging based on your last known surface position - a nice touch for divers who like to remember exactly where that cleaning station or secret pinnacle was.
A note on ethics and good diving
The best underwater images come from calm, controlled diving. Good buoyancy, respect for marine life, and keeping situational awareness are always the priority. A great shot is never worth bumping the reef or losing track of your buddy, depth, or gas.
Cold-water diving tip: consider the External Shutter
If you dive cold water with thicker gloves, a dedicated shutter control can make a big difference to comfort and consistency. The SeaTouch touchscreen experience is fantastic, and the External Bluetooth Shutter is the natural pairing if you want easier control with gloves while keeping the flexibility of touchscreen use.
Also new at Mike’s: GoPro
If you’re after a brilliant all-rounder for hands-free filming, GoPro is ideal for watersports, active holidays and everyday adventures. Many people love using GoPro for the “press record and forget” action moments, then SeaTouch for the composed shots and the clips you want to share the moment you’re back on the boat.

FAQs
Can I use the touchscreen underwater with SeaTouch?
Yes. SeaTouch housings are designed specifically to preserve touchscreen usability so you can tap, swipe, change camera settings and use apps underwater in a way that feels familiar.
Is SeaTouch only for scuba diving?
No. SeaTouch is great for scuba diving, snorkelling and freediving, but it’s also ideal for beach holidays and pool days when you want to film and shoot without worrying about your phone.
How deep can the housing go?
The housing waterproof rating is up to 60 metres. Touchscreen operating depth varies by model, with SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum designed for touchscreen operation down to 40 metres.
What phones does SeaTouch fit?
SeaTouch is designed for broad compatibility across iPhone and Android. SeaTouch 4 Max housings support phones up to 180 × 82.5 × 11.2 mm. iPhone 12–16 adapters are included with the relevant housings, and iPhone 17 compatibility is available via separate adapters.
I’ve upgraded to iPhone 17 — do I need a whole new housing?
No. If you already have a compatible SeaTouch 4 Max Plus or SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum, you can use an iPhone 17 adapter to fit your new phone.
Will my phone’s camera bump fit?
There is a maximum supported camera lens thickness. SeaTouch 4 Max Platinum supports up to 17 mm lens thickness, and SeaTouch 4 Max Plus setups have a maximum of 15 mm depending on configuration. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help confirm fit.
Should I remove my screen protector?
It depends. Thick tempered glass protectors can reduce touchscreen responsiveness or cause the phone to fit too tightly. For the best experience, we recommend removing thicker protectors before installing your phone in the housing.
What about gloves in cold water?
Touchscreen use can be trickier with thicker gloves, depending on the glove type. If you dive cold water regularly and want more reliable control, the External Bluetooth Shutter is a great add-on because it gives you an ergonomic shutter-style button without losing touchscreen flexibility.
Do I need the External Bluetooth Shutter?
You don’t need it, but many people like it. It’s ideal if you want a more camera-like feel, if you’re filming lots, or if you want easier control while wearing gloves.
What does the Ocean Kit actually improve?
The Ocean Kit is designed to improve two common underwater challenges: field of view and colour. The wide-angle lens helps you capture more of the scene and corrects distortion, while the red filter helps bring back warmer tones in seawater.
Do I have to use UWACAM, or can I use my normal camera app?
You can use your normal camera app. UWACAM is optional, but it’s designed specifically for SeaTouch and adds underwater-focused features like UWACOLOR colour processing, simple AUTO shooting, more advanced PRO controls, and creative tools like Upside Down mode.
Is UWACAM available on iPhone and Android?
Yes, UWACAM is available on both iOS and Android.
Can UWACAM identify fish and marine life?
UWACAM integrates with Vizalyzer AI, which can help identify marine species from your captures when you have an internet connection, typically after the dive back on the boat or on shore.
Does SeaTouch work with third-party apps?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of SeaTouch is that it doesn’t lock you into a single app, so you can use third-party camera and utility apps, including UWACAM.
Can I add lights, trays, lenses and filters later?
Yes. SeaTouch is designed to grow with you. The Platinum housing is especially suited to building a full rig with mounting points, and add-ons like the Expansion Clamp with Lens Adapter make it easy to expand your setup.
If I change my phone in the future, will I still be able to use SeaTouch?
In many cases, yes. SeaTouch uses phone adapters, so if you upgrade your device you may only need a new adapter rather than a whole new housing.
Is this a good option for beginners?
Yes. If you’re new to underwater photography, SeaTouch is an approachable entry point because you already know how to use your phone camera, and you can start simple and add accessories as your confidence grows.
Is this also useful for experienced photographers?
Yes. Many experienced divers like SeaTouch as a compact travel system, an easy daily shooter, or even a backup camera option on trips where carrying a full housing and camera rig isn’t practical.
