Diving & Water Use
The inReach® Mini 3 Plus is water-rated to IP67, meaning it is protected against accidental splashes and temporary immersion in water. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or prolonged underwater use on its own.
For diving, the device must be used with a compatible inReach dive case (sold separately). The dive case provides the additional protection required for underwater use and depth exposure.
Please note: GPS and satellite communication do not work underwater. Messaging, tracking and SOS functionality will only operate once the device is above the surface with a clear view of the sky.
