FitStill Waterproof Diving Case Only for Go Pro MAX2,131FT/40M Underwater
Quick take
This FitStill underwater housing is made specifically for the GoPro MAX 2, using a sealed, anti-scratch shell and a bracket-mount accessory approach for secure mounting underwater. Buyers generally like the fit and the idea of having a dedicated dive case, but underwater operation is more constrained (screen access requires opening/touching through the housing) and image sharpness may not match open-air footage due to the lens cover thickness.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Made for GoPro MAX 2 (not a universal housing).
- Waterproof dive case design rated up to 40 m (131 ft) with a sealing ring and tight buckle/lock.
- Thickened shell and high-density waterproof ring intended to help prevent leaks under pressure.
- Includes lens covers and supports bracket-style mounting.
Cons
- Non-touch screen/thicker screen area is designed to resist depth pressure, which can make on-housing screen use less convenient.
- Lens cover thickness can reduce clarity compared with shooting in open air.
- Compatibility is limited, it is not compatible with MAX 2019 or MAX 360 (2025).
- Waterproofing depends on correct sealing and maintenance (O-ring handling, clean seal area).
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence suggests the FitStill housing is a solid match for GoPro MAX 2 users who want a dedicated waterproof shell. Multiple comments highlight a good fit and an emphasis on protecting the camera during dives. At the same time, the main recurring practical tradeoff is how the housing affects day-to-day use underwater, especially screen interaction through the protective shell and whether the lens cover area impacts perceived sharpness. There are also limited-but-important reports that waterproofing can fail when sealing is not perfect, which reinforces that careful setup and routine seal care matter for this type of housing.
Who this underwater housing is best for
- GoPro MAX 2 owners who want a sealed, dedicated dive shell rather than an all-purpose solution.
- Divers and snorkelers looking for an enclosure designed for deeper water performance (rated to 40 m / 131 ft) with a locking/buckle mechanism.
- Shooters who prefer protection first, including anti-scratch lens/lid protection and a thickened shell.
- Mount-focused setups that benefit from the bracket-mount accessory style for stable positioning.
Compatibility and fit details to confirm first
This housing is designed for the GoPro MAX 2. It is explicitly not compatible with MAX 2019 and MAX 360 (2025). If your camera model is different, the fit and sealing behavior may not be correct, so verify the exact camera model before buying.
Waterproofing and sealing, what to expect
The case is built around a sealed waterproof approach, including an upgraded waterproof sealing ring and a tight buckle/locking design. It is described as waterproof to 131 ft / 40 m, with a note that the shell design uses a thickened, non-touch screen area to help resist pressure at greater depths.
Because housings rely on a proper seal, buyer experiences also point to the importance of prep. In practice, that means keeping the sealing surfaces clean and making sure the case closes correctly every time, and paying attention to O-ring care (including lubrication when needed).
Image clarity and underwater operation
Two practical considerations come up when using dive housings. First, the protective shell affects how you interact with the camera. The design includes a thickened screen area intended for pressure resistance, and buyers note that you may need to open the case to use the touchscreen fully or to check playback clearly.
Second, lens cover layers can change image results. Some buyers report that footage is not as clear as in open air, which is consistent with how thicker protective lens domes can soften detail or reduce contrast.
Pros and cons (buyer decision checklist)
What you will likely like
- Correct-fit housing for GoPro MAX 2, with an anti-scratch protective shell approach.
- A sealing and locking system intended to hold up in deeper water.
- Convenient mounting style for stable underwater rigs.
What could be a dealbreaker
- If you want maximum clarity and fastest touchscreen operation, housing use will likely feel restrictive compared to open-air filming.
- If you do not plan to maintain and properly seat the seal, you may be taking a bigger risk with any waterproof housing.

Verdict
The FitStill waterproof diving case for GoPro MAX 2 is a good fit if you want a dedicated, sealed underwater housing designed for deeper dives and you are willing to trade a bit of touchscreen convenience and potential image sharpness for protection. It is best for divers who will take sealing prep seriously, and it is a poor match if you own a different GoPro MAX model (MAX 2019 or MAX 360 2025) or if lens clarity in thick protective domes is a top priority.
FAQ
Is this waterproof case compatible with GoPro MAX 2019 or MAX 360 (2025)?
No. It is not compatible with MAX 2019 or MAX 360 (2025). It is made for GoPro MAX 2.
How deep is the FitStill case rated for?
It is rated as waterproof to 131 ft / 40 m.
Does the housing allow touchscreen use underwater?
The design uses a non-touch, thickened screen area intended to help resist pressure at depth. Buyers note that you may need to open the housing to interact with the screen or to view playback clearly.
Will the lens covers affect video quality?
The protective lens cover area can reduce clarity compared with open-air shooting. Some buyers report that underwater footage is not as clear as without the housing, which is a common tradeoff with waterproof lens domes.
What should I do to help prevent leaks?
Make sure the sealing surfaces are clean, close the case correctly, and maintain the seal/O-ring as directed for your housing type (including lubrication when needed).
Is this better for scuba dives or snorkeling?
It is aimed at underwater use, with a design intended for deeper water (up to 40 m / 131 ft). If you are snorkeling, it can still work, but the main value is having a protective, sealed housing for your specific dive conditions.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Do you have a GoPro MAX 2, not MAX 2019 or MAX 360 (2025)?
- Are you comfortable with slightly less convenience for touchscreen use due to the thickened screen area?
- Are you okay with possible clarity differences from lens covers?
- Will you reliably handle seal prep and correct closure every trip?
