Garmin Dive Case for inReach® Mini Series
Water-resistant underwater housing for Garmin inReach® Mini satellite communicators. Rated to 10 ATM (100 meters / 330 feet). Dual-locking latch with double O-ring seals. Two versions available: for inReach Mini & Mini 2 ($79.99) and for inReach Mini 3 & Mini 3 Plus ($99.99).
Our Take: If you dive anywhere remote — liveaboards, offshore reefs, boat dives without cell service — the ability to send an SOS or text message via satellite the moment you surface is a genuine safety upgrade. The Garmin Dive Case makes this possible by protecting your inReach Mini satellite communicator to 100 meters depth while you’re underwater. It’s a straightforward, well-built accessory: impact-resistant hard plastic housing, dual-locking latch, double O-ring seals, and a built-in eyelet for clipping to your BCD or harness. Spare O-rings and Super Lube are included in the box, which is a thoughtful touch for long-term seal maintenance. The key thing to understand is that satellite communication does NOT work underwater — the Iridium network needs sky access. The case simply keeps your inReach dry and protected at depth so it’s immediately operational when you surface. Two versions are sold on this page: one for the inReach Mini and Mini 2 (MPN 010-12723-01, $79.99), and one for the inReach Mini 3 and Mini 3 Plus (MPN 010-13990-00, $99.99). They are not interchangeable, so make sure to select the correct version for your device. The inReach Mini 2 and Mini 3 also pair with Garmin Descent series dive computers via Bluetooth at the surface, enabling SOS, preset messages, and weather data directly from your wrist. For any diver who already owns an inReach Mini, this case is an easy, affordable way to bring satellite safety on every dive.
Why you’d choose the Garmin Dive Case
- Protects your inReach Mini to 100 meters (330 feet) — well beyond typical recreational scuba depths. Uses a dual-locking latch closure with double O-ring seals for a reliable watertight barrier tested to withstand significant hydrostatic pressure.
- Satellite communication doesn’t work underwater, but the dive case keeps your inReach Mini protected and dry. The moment you surface, you can trigger an interactive SOS to Garmin’s 24/7 IERCC emergency center, send two-way text messages, or share your GPS coordinates — with 100% global Iridium satellite coverage.
- Select the correct version for your device. The Mini 1 & 2 case (010-12723-01, $79.99) fits the original inReach Mini and Mini 2. The Mini 3 case (010-13990-00, $99.99) fits the inReach Mini 3 and Mini 3 Plus. The cases are NOT interchangeable.
- The housing is constructed from durable, impact-resistant hard plastic that withstands the rigors of dive gear bags, boat decks, and underwater environments. The dual-locking latch keeps the case securely closed under pressure.
- A large, sturdy eyelet is molded into the case body for attaching a bolt snap, carabiner, lanyard, or retractor. Clip the case to your BCD, harness, D-ring, or wetsuit pocket for secure, hands-free transport during every dive.
- Each case ships with a set of replacement O-rings and a 1 cc tube of Super Lube silicone lubricant. Proper O-ring maintenance before each dive ensures the double-seal system maintains its waterproof integrity over time.

Dive Case for inReach Mini Series — Frequently Asked Questions
What inReach devices does each dive case fit?
Two separate dive cases are available on this page. The first (MPN 010-12723-01, $79.99) fits the inReach Mini (original) and inReach Mini 2. The second (MPN 010-13990-00, $99.99) fits the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus. The cases are NOT interchangeable — each is shaped specifically for its compatible device. Neither case fits the inReach Messenger, inReach Explorer, or any other Garmin device.
Does satellite communication work underwater?
No. GPS tracking and Iridium satellite communication require line-of-sight to the sky and do not function underwater. The dive case protects your inReach Mini while submerged so it’s ready to use immediately when you surface — to send messages, trigger an SOS, share your GPS location, or check in with contacts.
How deep can I take the dive case?
Both versions are rated to 10 ATM, which corresponds to 100 meters (330 feet). This exceeds the depth rating of most recreational dive computers and covers the vast majority of scuba diving depths.
What’s in the box?
Each dive case includes the case housing, a set of spare O-rings, and a 1 cc (0.034 oz) tube of Super Lube lubricant for maintaining the O-ring seals. The inReach Mini device is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
How do I attach the dive case to my gear?
Both cases have a large, sturdy built-in eyelet molded into the housing. You can thread a bolt snap, carabiner, lanyard, or retractor through the eyelet to clip the case to your BCD, harness, wetsuit, or other dive equipment.
Do I need to maintain the O-ring seals?
Yes. Before every dive, inspect the O-rings for debris, hair, sand, or damage. Clean the O-ring grooves and apply a thin coat of the included Super Lube lubricant. Spare O-rings are included. Replace O-rings if you notice nicks, cuts, or flat spots. Proper O-ring maintenance is critical for the waterproof seal. Rinse the case with fresh water after every saltwater dive.
Why would a diver carry an inReach Mini underwater?
The inReach Mini provides satellite SOS, two-way text messaging, and GPS location sharing via the Iridium satellite network with 100% global coverage — no cell service needed. For remote dive sites, liveaboards, boat dives, and offshore locations, having satellite communication available the moment you surface adds a critical safety layer. The inReach Mini 2 and Mini 3 also pair with Garmin Descent series dive computers via Bluetooth at the surface for SOS, preset messages, and weather forecasts.
