From January 8-11, 2016, DIVEVOLK took center stage at the prestigious Paris Dive Show, unveiling our latest innovation that promises to reshape underwater communication and content creation: the SeaLink Underwater Smartphone Data Transmitter. The response was nothing short of extraordinary, with our booth becoming one of the most visited attractions at the event.
The Challenge: Breaking the Surface Barrier
For years, underwater photographers, divers, and marine researchers have faced a frustrating limitation: once beneath the surface, the smartphone becomes an isolated device. While underwater housings like our SeaTouch 4 Max enable touchscreen operation, the ability to transmit data, stream live content, or communicate in real-time has remained virtually impossible. This barrier has restricted divers from sharing their underwater discoveries instantly and limited collaboration between dive teams and surface support.
Professional underwater photographers have long dreamed of live-streaming their dives to audiences above the surface. Marine researchers have sought real-time data transmission capabilities to collaborate with surface teams instantly. Recreational divers have wanted the ability to share their underwater experiences as they happen. The technology simply didn't exist—until now.
The Solution: SeaLink Arrives in Paris
At the Paris Dive Show, DIVEVOLK introduced SeaLink, a groundbreaking device that shatters the surface barrier. This innovative underwater smartphone data transmitter enables real-time communication, live streaming, and data transmission between submerged divers and the surface world—all while maintaining the intuitive touchscreen functionality that divers have come to expect from DIVEVOLK products.
The announcement created an immediate buzz throughout the exhibition hall. Our booth featured an immersive underwater demonstration pool where attendees could witness SeaLink's capabilities firsthand. Professional divers demonstrated live streaming from beneath the water's surface, while visitors above watched in real-time on connected screens. The visual impact was undeniable, and crowds gathered throughout the four-day event.
What Makes SeaLink Different
SeaLink isn't just another underwater communication gadget—it represents a fundamental shift in how divers interact with technology beneath the surface. Here's what sets it apart:
1. Effortless Single-Handed Operation
SeaLink's robust design conquers complex dive environments while enabling effortless single-handed operation. The ergonomic control terminal features a full touchscreen interface compatible with mobile apps, allowing divers to manage communication and streaming functions without interrupting their dive. The Smart-Lock Retractable Wheel makes deployment and storage simple while reducing drag during movement.
2. Modular Innovation Built on SeaTouch 4 Max
SeaLink represents DIVEVOLK's commitment to modular innovation. Designed as an expansion to our flagship SeaTouch 4 Max underwater smartphone housing, SeaLink transforms the already-powerful touchscreen housing into a complete underwater mobile intelligent solution. Divers who own SeaTouch 4 Max can seamlessly integrate SeaLink, extending their investment rather than replacing it.
3. Multi-Carrier Compatibility
SeaLink is designed for global divers, with compatibility across multiple carriers including European, Australian, and U.S. versions. This flexibility ensures that divers worldwide can utilize SeaLink's capabilities regardless of their location or service provider.
4. Comprehensive Safety Features
Understanding that safety is paramount in diving, SeaLink incorporates a Water Surface Safety Cover featuring reflective strips to ensure diver visibility at the surface. The Telescoping Buoyancy System is optimized for both transportability and precise buoyancy adjustment, adapting to various diving conditions and preferences.
5. Versatile Application Scenarios
SeaLink's capabilities extend far beyond simple communication. The device supports:
- Underwater exploration live streaming – Share discoveries in real-time with audiences worldwide
- Underwater communication – Coordinate effectively with dive teams and surface support
- Full face mask integration – Seamless compatibility with various diving equipment configurations
- Underwater video calls – Connect with surface teams, emergency responders, or collaborate with colleagues
- Real-time research collaboration – Enable marine scientists to share findings instantly with surface research teams
Real-World Applications
For Underwater Photographers and Content Creators
The ability to live-stream underwater content opens new possibilities for underwater photographers, dive instructors, and content creators. Imagine leading a dive group while simultaneously streaming the experience to students who couldn't attend, or sharing a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a marine creature in real-time on social media. SeaLink makes this possible.
For Marine Researchers and Conservationists
Scientific diving often requires real-time collaboration between submerged researchers and surface teams. SeaLink enables instant data transmission, video consultation with experts above the surface, and immediate documentation of findings. This capability accelerates research timelines and enhances the quality of scientific data collection.
For Dive Training and Education
Dive instructors can use SeaLink to provide real-time feedback to students, conduct underwater skills assessments with surface supervisor input, and create immersive learning experiences. The technology transforms how dive education is delivered, making it more interactive and effective.
For Emergency Response and Commercial Diving
Commercial diving operations and emergency response teams benefit from enhanced communication capabilities. The ability to maintain clear communication with surface support, share video feeds for assessment, and coordinate complex operations improves safety and efficiency in professional diving contexts.
The Paris Experience: A Four-Day Celebration of Innovation
The atmosphere at the DIVEVOLK booth throughout the Paris Dive Show was electric. From the moment doors opened on January 8th through the final hours on January 11th, our team engaged with thousands of attendees including:
- Recreational divers eager to experience the future of underwater technology
- Professional underwater photographers looking to enhance their content creation capabilities
- Dive industry retailers seeking innovative products for their customers
- Marine researchers interested in real-time data transmission solutions
- International media covering the latest innovations in diving technology
Our underwater demonstration pool became a show highlight, with continuous demonstrations of SeaLink's live streaming capabilities. Visitors watched in fascination as divers beneath the surface transmitted crystal-clear video to screens above, communicated in real-time, and demonstrated the intuitive touchscreen controls that make SeaLink remarkably easy to use.
The official media at the event took notice, with industry commentators highlighting the combination of technological innovation and genuine user need as the driving force behind SeaLink's immediate popularity. The product represents not just a new gadget, but a meaningful solution to problems divers have faced for years.
What's Next: Boot Düsseldorf and Beyond
The momentum from Paris continues to build. SeaLink has already received a prestigious Boot Awards 2026 innovation award nomination from the upcoming German dive show. The final results will be announced at Boot Düsseldorf, and the DIVEVOLK team is excited to showcase SeaLink to an even larger audience at this premier European diving event.
We invite all divers, underwater photographers, marine researchers, and diving industry professionals to experience SeaLink's underwater communication capabilities firsthand at the DIVEVOLK booth at Boot Düsseldorf. Follow our official social media channels for exact booth location and event updates.
Join the Underwater Communication Revolution
The introduction of SeaLink represents more than a new product launch—it's a fundamental shift in how divers connect, share, and collaborate beneath the surface. Whether you're a recreational diver wanting to share your experiences, a professional photographer expanding your creative possibilities, a marine researcher advancing scientific discovery, or a dive instructor transforming education, SeaLink opens new possibilities.
The enthusiastic response at the Paris Dive Show confirms what we've always believed at DIVEVOLK: the diving community is ready for technology that breaks down barriers and enhances the underwater experience. SeaLink delivers on that promise.
