Has anyone used the remote on dives 20m+? I know it's waterproof but I don't know its depth rating.

The remote is not made for scuba diving.. It is rated to only 10 feet!

Yeah, it would have been messed up to learn that the hard way.:crash:

Besides, it's range is only a few inches underwater.
Not to mention why would you want to use the remote underwater in the first place? It's really meant to link cameras together so they can all be activated at once....on land...

It's also designed for anytime you either can't reach the camera or can't see the display to know if the camera is running. I.e. sailboarders mount a camera at the top of the mast and then activate it from the wrist. In the underwater realm the potential situations could include tank mounts, scooter mounts, or mask mounts (but as it doesn't work underwater, it's a non-issue).
