Galileo Sol transmitter safety

So I am now the proud owner of a Galileo Sol, thanks to the info of you good people here on the board.
Once the transmitter was attached, I of course wondered about providing some protection to the transmitter unit which would not interfere with it's function. Being a 21st century kind of guy, I immediately thought of some sort of "transmitter-dom" for safety. I therefore went into the ICU and removed some surgical gloves. Skillfully, I removed and experimented with various digits applying the new coat to the transmitter and found that the index finger of a pair of siz Large was the go : and in a fashionable purple as well.
In any event, while proud of my new work, a short discussion with the techs at Scubapro over a different matter yielded the information that they have a generic rubber cover for the transmitter which is made to protect it. They have key rings, t shirts,even suit hangers in their catalog and accessories list, but never have I seen a rubber transmitter protector.
So ladies and gentlemen, when you have secreted yourselves away for the night in your laboratories, working on a solution to cold fusion and how to personalize your Galileo Sol, just remember, you may want to touch base with Scubapro if you're considering obtaining a little extra protection for your expensive transmitter unit.
Safe diving all.

Thanks HBO,
I'm a S/P dealer and didn't know that.

I didn't know that either, so I will be on the phone to them when I get back from DEMA to see if they can rustle one up. Not that I am particularly bothered about having the extra protection - my transmitter and regs have been chucked about on several trips abroad and in the UK with no worries – but I'd been keen to see what they've come up with.

Cheers for the info!

That is cool that they make one, yet I find it unnecessary. I have over a hundred dives with my transmitter and my gals has about the same, both with little signs of wear. Trapping the salt water would seem like more of a problem. Drying my gear out is hard enough.

Now the wrist mount units are definitely showing their wear and the cover screens are good to replace once in a while.

It's like a new car; everyone babies it until it gets the first ding

I have sending units on the two tanks I dive with, and they have few, if any dings. Can't say the same thing about my Sol: it is showing marks of distinction (or a lot of use!)
