Final Check
1. Re-check the o-ring seal. The seal should form an even, solid line
around the back of the housing.
2. Turn on the camera and check all control functions.
3. Make sure that the camera can obtain focus and take a photo.
4. Check battery life and open storage space on your memory card.
5. Check the flash, if using.
6. Submerge the housing in a fresh water tank dedicated to
underwater photography equipment. Visually confirm that there are
no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream of bubbles coming
from one of the housing's seals.
Entering the Water
1. If possible, we recommend entering the water without your housing
to ensure that you are comfortable and your life-saving equipment
is in working order. Once you are stable, have someone pass your
camera housing to you.
2. Before entering the water, turn the camera ON and operate each
of the housing controls to get a feel for using the camera in the
housing.
3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check to
see that the housing is properly sealed. Using your finger, wipe
away any air bubbles on the face of the lens port. If possible, first
water test the housing with no camera inside to assure a safe and
watertight environment.
