I was diving with my S95 in Ikelite housing this weekend with a buddy of mine who was using the same setup but with a wide angle lense with 67mm thread which screws on to the end of the port part of the housing.
Halfway through the dive, when he unscrewed the wide angle lense, he looked down to find out the "port" part of the housing had unscrewed along with the WA lense, :shocked2::shocked2:causing instant flooding! You should have seen his face - he could not believe what he was looking at - and neither could I!
I was shocked - I did not even know the "port" part of the housing unscrewed. Has this happened to anyone else before - and how could this have happened!!!?
Please be aware that the port is screwed in to the housing and can be unscrewed whilst unscrewing a wa or other attachment using the 67mm thread. The threads run the same way!
Crazy that Ikelite did not make the thread attaching the "port" to the housing run in the opposite direction to the thread on the lense part of the port!! Or at least warn us!!
Scarey!!
