What is the SeaLink?

The SeaLink is a revolutionary tool designed to bridge the gap between the surface and the deep. It is an underwater smartphone data transmitter that allows divers to transmit data wirelessly, effectively turning your smartphone into a connected hub even while submerged. For a deep dive into the technical specifications and how it integrates with our underwater housing collection, you can read our full SeaLink product guide here.

Why SeaLink Earned the Innovation Nomination

The boot Dive Award jury looks for products that fundamentally improve the diving experience through creativity and technology. Here is why the SeaLink stood out among the competition:

  • Breaking the Communication Barrier: Traditionally, data transmission underwater has been a massive challenge. SeaLink provides a streamlined, reliable way to handle data without bulky, professional-only equipment.
  • Safety and Professional Utility: By allowing for better data management, the SeaLink is a game-changer for scientific research, commercial diving, and even advanced recreational safety.
  • Seamless Integration: Like our SeaTouch 4 Max kits, SeaLink is built with the user in mind, ensuring that high-tech capabilities don't come at the cost of simplicity.
