2. Submerge the housing at the surface of the water and visually
confirm that there are no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream
of bubbles coming from one of the housing seals. If water does
appear to be entering the housing, point the lens port downward
and return the housing to the surface as quickly as possible. Please
observe all necessary safety precautions. NEVER ascend faster
than accepted safety limits.
3. Use your hand to gently flush away any small bubbles that may be
on the face of the lens port. Bubbles will produce soft focus spots in
your photo or video.

Maintenance

Post-Dive

1. Rinse the housing in fresh water. Rotate the housing controls and
press each button while submerged in fresh water to flush out any
salt or debris to ensure smooth operation on future dives.
2. NEVER leave your housing in the fresh water rinse tank. Collisions
with another person's equipment can cause scratches and possible
damage to your equipment.
3. Stow the housing in a shaded place where it is protected from
impact or overheating. If no shade is available, we recommend
covering the housing with a towel or cloth.
4. Check the camera's memory card capacity before your next dive.
Check the battery life of your camera and strobe(s); recharge as
necessary.
5. Always re-check o-ring seal after opening the housing.

Travel and Storage

1. Remove the camera from the housing for travel or storage.
2. Check the main housing o-ring.
