Hi all. New to scuba diving and last weekend was my first time using a GoPro Hero 10. I have a waterproof housing (official housing from GoPro) and tested the camera before going into the water. Battery was at 50~60%.
After descent, I couldn't turn it on. Water temperature was 55F. I thought maybe there was a leak that damaged the camera. The depth was only 30 ft. But after I finished diving and got back to the beach, I opened the housing and it was completely dry inside and the camera could then turn on and record with no problem. There was also nothing wrong with the buttons on the housing.
Has anyone experienced this? The only explanation I could think of is the water was cold (but is 55F too cold for electronics?) plus the battery was not fully charged (but still more than half charged).
Thank you!!!
