oh, also the reason they caution about that is that the water pressure when a fast wave hits the water or on impact if you jump in is actually higher than the depth the camera is exposed to when held steady under water at the specified max depth. the same btw is also true for making powerful swimming movements with the camera in your hand. speed adds pressure. I keep mine in a pocket when swimming longer distances and take it out again when I slow down or stop or resume "photo speed" hth ecke
