I took a 360-degree camera underwater in Hawaii, and the shots I got blew me away

Insta360's recently released update enhances underwater video content and adds another sports watch to the arsenal of diving stats.

I went snorkeling with manta rays, explored the shoreline full of tropical fish, and swam alongside sea turtles with the action cam, then shared these amazing experiences with family and friends back home viewing my content from the safety of their couch. Although it had been several years since I used an Insta360 X series camera, I was thrilled to get the opportunity to test it out in the clear waters of Hawaii and couldn't have timed it better with the release of an update that provided new underwater capture features. With the invisible dive case and a floating hand grip, the camera stayed dry while snorkeling around the big island of Hawaii, but it did get warm while I was swimming in the sun.
