Water ingress is usually caused by forgetting to install the O‑ring, the O‑ring falling out, damage or aging of the O‑ring, or foreign particles such as sand, fibers, or hair on the O‑ring or its seat.
The O‑ring is a consumable part and should be replaced at least once a year.
Use four AA alkaline batteries or four AA nickel‑metal‑hydride batteries.
No, the housing is designed for use only up to 40 m depth; deeper use may cause permanent deformation and water ingress.
