Reloading suppliers have a type of sealant made for use on rounds intended for harsh & wet conditions.

Use 1 or maybe 2 coats of a jet-dry nail polish.On both the primer and the bullet.The cartridges should last upto 5 dives sometimes more.

I have used the fingernail polish method with two coats on both the primer and neck crimp. It has worked for me up to 120 ft down. I have also used spar varnish on .223 ball ammo and blanks that worked ok. I only use them 1 time before discarding them.

Which is supposed to mean what?
You got me.
A powerhead is used as a personal protection device when spearfishing. .38 is a popular size.
