hi, i'm pretty new (20 dives), have a bonica sea explorer (inexpensive point & shoot 35mm), am going on a liveaboard out to the flower gardens in the gulf of mexico this coming weekend. questions- i know the boat will have a camera rinse bucket. do you rinse camera in the bucket, then remove it and keep with your other gear in between dives (will be doing four dives, plus night dive on saturday, 3 dives on sunday)? or do you let camera stay in bucket during surface interval til ready for next dive?? when you need to change film, you've got to let camera sit out til totally dry before opening up to change film i know. also, do you wipe the 0-ring of the housing each time you open it up or how often and with what kind of cloth....will a piece of a clean old t-shirt be good, cause they seem to be lint-free, or what is best? any other stuff i need to know? thanks so much!!!!
