The Aquaclip® sealing system used on this Aquapac has been independently tested by the world-famous Engineering Research Center at Imperial College, London. It's guaranteed waterproof to the international standard IPX8, which is as waterproof as you can get. It means that if you really want to you can hold it 15ft / 5m underwater for half an hour safe in the knowledge that the stuff inside will stay completely safe and dry.
In-House Waterproof Testing
During manufacture Aquapac tests their submersible cases in their own pressure chamber for 5 minutes at 1.0 bar. This is equivalent to 33 ft (10.1m) of water. Aquapac also does a simple, manual squeeze-in-a-basin test. Sometimes it’s the real-life tests that really count!
The Aquapac Whanganui Large Electronics Case’s material is coated with solid layers of TPU plastic, and all seams are welded and then sealed with hot-melt tape to keep out water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get really good photos with the AquaPac?
It’s a bit like taking a photograph through your window at home.First of all the window needs to be as clean as possible. Even with a clean window you may notice some reflection, but the closer you hold the camera lens to the window, the less the reflection. Similarly our cases give best results with the lens window tight against the camera lens.
Try to avoid flash photography but if you do need to use the flash make sure that the case is tight over the flash so the light doesn’t reflect back into the lens. Keep the lens window clean and avoid scratching it. Try to look after it the same way you look after your camera lens.
Taking Photos Underwater
It takes a bit of practice and a little luck to get really good underwater photos – please don’t think that every shot you take is going to make the cover of Sport Diver magazine. You need strong sunshine and clear water. The middle of the day is best, when the sun is at its highest. Best results will be just below the surface. Light disappears quickly as you go deeper, as do colors (one of the advantages of digital cameras is that you can retouch your photos afterwards to replace colors lost underwater).
(Above: Photos taken through an Aquapac waterproof case.)
Even clean water is full of microorganisms and other particles. The less water between you and your subject, the less difference this will make and therefore the clearer your shots are likely to be. Wide lens and close up is the secret. Click here to see our Flickr group and lots of customer pictures.
Can you really hear through the AquaPac Waterproof Case?
You should be able to use your phone or radio handset normally inside an Aquapac. There is very little loss of volume, since sound waves travel straight through the plastic.
This is a review from YouTube, demonstrating the Aquapac case's audio transmission and recording abilities in a real-world environment.
Does the AquaPac Waterproof Case Float?
In almost all instances yes. The Aquaclip creates a hermetic seal – once closed the case is airtight. Most electronic equipment is full of air. So it’s not so much the air round the outside of your phone or camera or whatever, but the air actually inside it that makes it float.
If you put lead bars or gold ingots inside a case and carefully squeeze out all the air before sealing, the Aquapac may not float. Sorry. NOTE: Please test your individual case with contents to check if it will float.
Can the AquaPac be used in the Hot Tub or Sauna?
Around +100ºF (+40ºC) the hard plastic of the Aquaclip starts to soften. The case could therefore leak if submerged in a very hot bath. As long as the case is not held underwater, use in the bath or hot tub is fine. Please note that an Aquaclip left in the hot sun will instantly revert to its normal state if dropped in water.
Why should you consider the AquaPac Line of Waterproof Bags?
Of course there will always be people out there offering you products which are superficially similar to ours. Before you opt for a cheaper alternative, ask one thing. Do they stand behind their products the way we do? For a clear illustration of what makes Aquapac stand out from the crowd, check out our Full 5-Year Warranty. We don’t think you’ll find anything out there to beat it.
