The guys loved the ICOM for its compact size and durability. The helicopter pilots said they could see them all underwater during their night dives.

“Over the past year we’ve purchased about 120 of their NOVA wide dive lights. The price is about what we used to spend on an inefficient (brand deleted) light and the NOVA’s performance is comparable to a good waterproof (brand deleted) (it’s rated to 400ft).”

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for making such an outstanding product.  I recently bought two of your Nova Wide Angle Torches and used them extensively last week in Bonaire.  I was so impressed that I used one to check out under ledges during the day and as a pair for night diving – and completely left my large primary behind back at the hotel.  At 1-15′, your torch performs beyond any expectations.  From my perspective this is perfect as depth of penetration with my large primary light is far less useful than the consistency of your wide angle and compact form factor.  If I really wanted more light, I found that I could simply “cross the beams” with both lights and voila!  More light!

Thank you very much for making such a very fine product, and for a reasonable cost to the end consumer.  It has been far too long that manufacturers like UK, Ikelite and Princeton Tec have been taking advantage of the diving community with “mere waterproof flashlights at premium prices”.  Most of these lights, with some exceptions, are not especially noteworthy.  And some aren’t manufactured particularly well.  You’ve changed the game and that’s very exciting.

Thank you, Intova, for creating a $55 light that is an essential tool and small enough to always keep around.  And one that is clearly ENGINEERED to very high standards and then MANUFACTURED to be very solid, even “tactical”.  THANK YOU!

 Best regards,

Jeff

“In spite of my photographic ineptness, the pictures were outstanding using your camera. I have attached several U/W pictures taken with the Intova IC600 system.  For the price, you cannot beat the Intova underwater camera systems.”

Thanks for everything! The camera has worked out to be just great.  My pictures are talked about all the time.  People ask me what software I am using to fix them up and they are surprised when I tell them “None”.  It’s all in the white balance setting. You have done so much for me, and I want to say “THANKS “.

“Last year I visited Maui and went diving. I had a $300 underwater point and shoot camera that flooded. It was my first of 4 days of diving. I purchased two of your underwater cameras at a small Food Mart in Kihei. One of the dive masters I was diving with recommended them. She had heard a lot of good things about them. They worked great. I got a lot of good photos. A couple of my friends were going on a cruise to Alaska. I let them use one of your cameras because they were going sea kayaking. (That camera sure has earned a lot of frequent flyer miles.) At the end of last year, I went to the Cayman Islands on another dive trip.”

“I was recently on vacation in Mexico and was able to purchase a Snap Sights Sports Flash camera prior to a cave dive and a reef snorkel. As a diver with over 600 hours of West Coast diving I have used several underwater camera’s, as such I was very impressed with the quality of the polycarbonate housing and the fact that the camera had a flash, which gave me hope that some color would be present when the film was developed. On receiving my developed film, I was very pleased to see the quality of the pictures.”

I just returned from a trip to Cozumel. While at the resort I found one of your cameras. At last a camera rated for more than 35 feet (85 ft on the cover). I was even more surprised to learn that it was a product of the U.S. I live in central California (Sacramento area) and have been a scuba diver for over 20 years. If the pictures I took, turn out as good as the camera worked, I will want more of your cameras. They are an inexpensive alternative to the professional rigs.

“Hello, I’m the owner of a dive center in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, and I’m interested in your Snap Sights Cameras. I saw them last summer while diving in Cozumel Island, Mexico, and thought that we can sell this kind of camera in our shop. We need to know who your European or Spanish distributor is so we can contact him. In case you don’t have a distributor in Spain, perhaps we can study a possible collaboration between us. Please send me the address of your dealer to contact.”

Yours faithfully,

“A disposable camera with a close-up lens and flash for around 30 bucks”
By Friscuba

Rodale’s Scuba Diving Magazine
September 17,2003

“If you are thinking about underwater photography, but dive infrequently and don’t want to invest a lot of money on a camera, or just want to give taking photos a try first, this little disposable might be worth looking at. I’ve seen lots of people who are curious about trying underwater photography on the heap and there is a camera company, which just may fit the bill for those not looking at a long-term investment. Snap Sights makes a camera that’ll go down to 85′ is the deepest I’ve seen for a disposable yet, however it seems we’re seeing more inexpensive underwater camera that are available for around 18 bucks off Snap Sight’s website, around 25 bucks at most dive shops which carry it. The attachment is about 4 bucks.”

Hi,

I bought one of your Intova IC5 00 cameras in June of 2008 at a dive shop I frequent here in Houston, in preparation for our vacation and my dive trip to Puerto Rico with my Wife. It was probably the best thing I bought myself for the trip and I love that it took great pictures and also did a great job with a short video that I’ve put on my website.

Please feel free to share this little video and know that I will gladly tell everyone that the Intova camera is one of the best little investments to make before taking that dive trip – if you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg and still not sacrifice quality.

Here’s the link to my video, enjoy: http://www.tnturner.net/my_web_032.htm

Hi Joe,

Thank you for loaning the pre-production model of the new Intova 8MP Underwater Camera. This provides a summary of the use of the camera, feel free to post or edit this as you require.

FIRST LOOK CAMERA REVIEW

The camera is very compact, about the size of a deck of playing cards and almost no weight. This makes it convenient for carrying in a pocket or along with other gear. Finished in brushed silver with bright orange accents on the side panels, the camera says “sports”. The large 2.5-inch LCD is easy to see above and below water level and the menus are in a point size that is readable during use with a mask. The only visible seal is on the bottom door where the SD memory card and Li-Ion battery are inserted, and this door closed easily and securely every time. By the way, the battery lasted over 150 images without needing a charge, although I always charge batteries before a dive. The camera is rated to 30 foot depth without a housing and I took it down to 15 feet during my snorkeling experiences with no problems. (But you should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.)

Intova has clearly built-in their underwater experience with this new model. It has 3 underwater scene settings including normal, macro and sports. It also has multiple white balance settings for clear water, blue water and algae water, so any environment can be accommodated. These settings, coupled with your individual preferences for exposure and saturation, should make any diver/photographer satisfied and capable of getting excellent results in a variety of dive environments. The water in Belize and Cozumel, where this test was conducted, was clear with visibility over 50 feet. I chose the Underwater Sports setting to decrease the influence of movement, and I used the Blue Water White Balance for personal preference. Based on experience during the dives, I also used -.3 EV for some photographs. I only used the camera for snorkeling this week, and can’t wait to try it with the housing and separate flash for scuba diving photos.

In use, the camera has multiple scene settings for land photography, including the newest features to recognize faces and even smiles. Although fully-automatic picture-taking is easy and provides great images, those of us that can’t resist some manual over-rides have a good selection of white balance, EV adjustment and saturation. My own preferences, probably influenced by my transparency-shooting history, led me to using a -.3 EV setting and increasing the saturation by one click. This is personal and the photos would be pleasing even without my over-rides.

The photographs range from very good to excellent. The three-times prism zoom lens does a remarkable job of capturing detail with no apparent curvilinear distortion or color fringing (please note this is a user test, not a scientific appraisal.) Color and sharpness are excellent and exposures were consistent. The 8MP sensor handles contrast well and noise is low in the shadows and underexposed areas of the image. Pictures enlarge well and have great detail.

I’m looking forward to a production model with housing and external flash unit, because this product definitely delivers better value for the dollar than any I have seen. And it’s a great camera for everyday use without worries in dust or wet conditions. This model is an excellent choice as a primary or secondary model in your bag.
