    Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. However, the responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight seal lies entirely with the user. 10Bar accepts no liability for damage to, or loss of any equipment used with, or placed inside the housing. It is highly recommended that an in-water test of the housing without the camera be carried out before the first dive, after changing ports or alteration of housing configuration.
