There are various wet lenses available whether you shoot wide-angle or macro.
The Kraken Universal Smart Housing Pro includes a temperature and depth sensor, plus has an adjustable shim system allowing you to fit most popular smartphones on the market into it.
Kraken also have another great feature built-in, a vacuum port system! No longer worry about if your seal is safe. Simply give a couple pulls on the vacuum pump (included) and the housing will let you know that it has a vacuum and is safe to dive. Kraken has a wide-angle, and macro lens available too. Free app for both Android and iOS smartphones available to download. Housing is made of anodised aluminium.
There are two versions of the housing, one includes a temperature and depth sensor, the other does not. THIS HOUSING INCLUDES THE SENSORS.

Please everyone, we do not have the ability to test every phone on the market, look up your phone's dimensions, if they are less than the maximum dimensions stated above your phone will work. If your phone is greater than the maximum dimensions the phone will not fit in the case.

iOS and Android Apps
We are proud to announce the Kraken housing now supports the Dive+ app. With built-in colour correction, dive computer, compass, and auto dive log feature (KRH01) it is a game-changer! Full manual camera control supported for iOS currently, and about another 30 days for Android. You can find the app on the play store, or app store, or visit http://dive.plus
The original Kraken app is still functioning and can be found in the app store, or to download for Android at the button below. All further development will happen on the Dive+ app though.
PLEASE NOTE, DO NOT CONNECT TO THE HOUSING FROM YOUR BLUETOOTH MENU. YOU MUST LET THE APP DO THE CONNECTION. If you connect through your Bluetooth menu, you will not see the housing in the app. If you have connected through the Bluetooth menu simply forget the 'Kraken' housing.
Android users — Please try out our latest app option. Download 'Kraken Housing Camera' in the Playstore store or from this link.
To use it simply go into the settings, enable the remote control, and then select your housing from the available remotes. This was adapted from Open Camera and was done by one of our users, thanks Edouard.
