Why buy from Amazon?
Amazon has a documented Prime delivery program that covers millions of items, and that is the most concrete order-related support behind buying here.
Worth knowing
Some customers report slower replies or needing more follow-up than expected when they asked for help after ordering. If an order needs post-purchase support, that part of the experience is not always smooth.
Some customers also report delivery problems after ordering. That keeps follow-up and delivery as the areas to watch if you place the order here.

Worth knowing
Some customers report that returns or refunds took more follow-up than expected. Others describe slower replies when they needed help after ordering. Budget for follow-up if your order needs attention after purchase.

Why buy from House of Scuba?
House of Scuba publishes a defined return process for eligible items, including when credit or a refund applies and where fees or exclusions can affect the outcome. If you want the retailer's own terms in place before ordering, that is the most concrete reason to buy here.
It also states a continental U.S. free-shipping offer with exclusions, so the order terms are not left entirely to guesswork. That does not guarantee every item qualifies, but the policy itself is part of the buying case.
Worth knowing
Some customers describe friction around returns or refunds, and some also report slower replies or needing extra follow-up when they asked for help after ordering. Read the return terms closely before placing the order, especially the condition, packaging, and fee limits that can change the result.

Compare all modelsOceanic+ Smart Housing for iPhone: Underwater iPhone Housing with Integrated Dive Computer
The Oceanic+ Smart Housing for iPhone turns your existing iPhone into a rated underwater camera and a working dive computer at the same time.
If you are a recreational diver who already shoots photos or video on your phone and wants a purpose-built housing rather than a generic waterproof pouch, this is worth a serious look.
What It Actually Does
The housing does two distinct jobs at once.
First, it protects your iPhone and lets you shoot photos and video underwater, using your phone's own camera app through the Oceanic+ platform.
Second, it overlays real-time dive data directly onto your iPhone screen, including depth and dive time, so the phone doubles as a dive computer display while you shoot.
That combination is the whole point of this product. If you only need one of those two functions, a simpler solution probably exists. If you want both in one unit, the Oceanic+ Smart Housing is built around exactly that pairing.
Depth Rating and Who It Suits
The housing is rated to 196 feet (60 metres).
That covers the full recreational dive envelope and then some. Most recreational divers stay well within 130 feet, so the depth rating gives you a genuine margin rather than a tight ceiling.
It is not a technical diving instrument, and the dive computer overlay is designed around recreational use. If you are planning decompression dives or need a fully independent backup computer, this housing is not that tool.
iPhone Compatibility
The Oceanic+ Smart Housing is compatible with iPhone SE through the current model at the time of purchase.
That is a wide range. Before you buy, it is worth confirming that your specific model is listed as supported, particularly if you are running an older SE or the most recently released iPhone, since housing tolerances are machined to exact dimensions.
The Vacuum Seal System
Water ingress is the main anxiety with any underwater housing, and the Oceanic+ Smart Housing addresses it with a built-in vacuum seal pump.
The way this works: you pump a slight vacuum inside the housing before a dive. If the seal holds, the housing is watertight and ready to go. If the vacuum drops, you know there is a problem before you enter the water, not after. It is a meaningful safety step, not just a marketing point.
Get into the habit of checking the seal on every dive, every time.
Controls and Handling
Operating a touchscreen underwater is not practical, so the housing uses Bluetooth connectivity to let you control the camera without pressing the phone's own screen.
The housing also has an ergonomic design intended for comfortable one-handed or two-handed use in the water. Gloved hands and buoyancy make fine motor control harder underwater, so physical controls that respond predictably matter more than they do on land.
Power
The housing carries its own rechargeable battery, separate from your iPhone's battery.
This matters for a practical reason: running the camera, the Bluetooth connection, and the dive computer overlay simultaneously draws power. Having a dedicated battery in the housing means you are not racing your phone's charge level against your dive time.
Charge both the housing and your iPhone before a dive day, and check both before you enter the water.
Before You Buy
The Oceanic+ app drives the computer functions, so check its own documentation for the dive algorithm, the decompression model, and whether it logs full dive profiles for post-dive review, before you rely on this as your primary dive computer.
Is This the Right Housing for You?
The Oceanic+ Smart Housing makes the most sense if you:
- Already own a compatible iPhone and want to shoot underwater without buying a separate dedicated camera
- Dive recreationally within the 196-foot rating
- Want depth and dive time visible on screen while you shoot, rather than glancing at a separate wrist computer
- Appreciate the vacuum seal check as a pre-dive safety step
It is less likely the right fit if you need a fully standalone, certified dive computer independent of your phone, shoot in conditions where phone battery life is already a concern, or dive beyond recreational depths.
