I recently received a Sea Life DC2000 Pro Duo kit as a Christmas gift. I have taken it on approximately 15 dives. Results have been mixed - some very good shots, and some not so very good shots.
The problem I am experiencing is moisture within the housing. The first couple of dives there was little to no moisture once I opened the housing. The last few dives there has been what I believe to be too much moisture in the housing, including large water droplets.
At the suggestion of my LDS where the kit was purchased, I took the empty housing on a dive to 90 feet. It was just the housing, and not mounted on a tray. When I opened the housing after the dive it was totally dry.
Yesterday I took the camera, mounted on the tray, along with the flash unit and video light on a dive to 70 feet. When I opened the housing later to take the camera out, there was a lot of moisture inside. The housing was not flooded, but there were some big water droplets inside.
I am following the manual to a "T", yet there are still water droplets inside. I am wondering if tightening the housing to the tray may torque it to the point it leaks a bit.
Any thoughts / suggestions on how to solve this issue would be appreciated. I have an upcoming Caribbean trip, and want to have a dry camera unit to take lots of pictures.
Dive safe !!
