Hi all,

I am working on an engineering design project as a part of school and I need to seal my pressure sensor (SparkFun Pressure Sensor Breakout - MS5803-14BA - SEN-12909 - SparkFun Electronics) to the outside of my waterproof housing, which is currently an Otterbox 3000 case (Large waterproof OtterBox [3000] ID: 339 - $20.00 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits).

This Otterbox case will be used for the initial prototyping and testing, then a smaller waterproof housing will be obtained based on the size of our final PCB and components. I'm estimating that it will end up being around the size of a GoPro housing.

The Otterbox case is rated to 100 feet. I'm hoping for a minimum depth rating of 20 feet once the pressure sensor is sealed to the outside. Can anyone offer some tips on the best way to go about accomplishing this?

Thanks in advance,
Blake
