Easydive launch DivePad
Divepad is the world’s first universal underwater housing for iOS and Android tablets.
Compatible with all iOS and Android tablets with up to 10 “diagonal screen size.
With iOS tablets (iPad) the housing allows you to use all the advanced features of the camera by downloading the Divepad App from the App Store; with Android tablets, the control unit enters into keyboard mode and allows you to use different applications of our tablet, and all the advanced photo / video features.
The housing is made from a solid block of anticorodal aluminum, processed by numerically controlled milling cutters, and subsequently anodized for maximum resistance over time against wear and saltiness. Robustness and ease of use have been put at the center of the design process. The watertight seal is guaranteed by a double O-ring on the back and by 8 stainless steel lever latches.
Internally, a double adjustable caliper support has been designed, which allows you to fix your tablet firmly and quickly. On the right side there is a 6Ah power bank that allows additional autonomy to your tablet. The tablet is controlled by the electronics inside the case: once the Bluetooth is switched on, the connection is automatically activated by pressing the power button. The buttons equipped with optical sensors enabled us to eliminate physical keys. The electronic board is equipped with an internal battery that provides autonomy of about 14 hours and that is recharged via a USB-C connector in about 30 minutes.
Compatible with iPad iOS up to 10 “and with all Android tablet up to 10” – The tablet communicates with the housing via a Bluetooth connection. All you need is the application downloadable from the App Store or Google Play.
New button panel with optical sensors, which allows you to control your tablet without the presence of physical buttons. Just cover the sensor with your finger to send the command. Use of gloves facilitates operations.
Inside the housing there is a double adjustable caliper support that allows you to block different models of iPads or Android tablets of different sizes.
- Ability to use the full potential of the camera (time adjustment, ISO, HDR, White Balance, Auto or Manual Focus).
- Ability to switch from Photo mode to Video mode simply by pressing a button.
- “Selfie” function, allows you to use the front camera of the tablet.
Finally you can take great pictures in the foreground, looking directly into the display, or recording a video in which the user becomes the protagonist.
- The high-definition display and the considerable size of the new tablet allow an incredible control of the framing during diving.
- Made from a solid block of aluminum.
- Compatible with Vacuum System and hydrophones.
- The housing is guaranteed up to 60 meters deep.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
