Pros
  • Extends the X5 from a 15m native rating to 60m, deep enough for the large majority of recreational dives
  • Purpose-fit for the X5's exact lens spacing and body, rather than a generic case adapted to fit
  • Sold as a standalone accessory rather than locked into a bundle, so it can be bought on its own alongside the camera
Cons
  • Only fits the X5; it isn't cross-compatible with the X4 or other Insta360 camera generations, each generation needs its own dive case
  • Insta360 also sells a Dive Case Pro with optics designed to reduce distortion and sharpen detail, but that version only reaches 50m versus this case's 60m
  • At 200g it roughly doubles the naked camera's weight, worth factoring into how much lead you carry
Diver community sentiment
Mostly positive

Divers discussing the case on Scubaboard report it holds up well in real use, describing positive buoyancy underwater and no leakage after dives to around 100 feet, including one account of the housing being "tested extensively at close to" its 60m rating without problems. The recurring caution across that same discussion is that the clear acrylic dome scratches easily and needs to be handled carefully between dives, stored away from gear that could nick it, the same complaint owners of the equivalent X4 case raise. Divers otherwise treat it as the default way to take the X5 on a real dive rather than an optional accessory, since the naked camera's 15m native rating falls short of most certification-depth dives. Net sentiment is mostly-positive: reliable sealing, with scratch resistance as the one thing to actively manage.

Scubaboard: Insta360 X5 dive case experiences

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Invisible Dive Case is Insta360’s dedicated housing for the X5, extending its native 15m waterproof rating to 60m for real scuba use. Like the X4’s case, it’s built from silicone and stainless-steel components and designed to disappear from the final 360 stitch rather than showing up as a visible housing in frame. Insta360 also sells a Dive Case Pro alongside it, which uses different optics to cut distortion and sharpen detail at the cost of a shallower 50m depth rating, making the standard case here the deeper-diving option of the two.
