[FONT=&]There a 75% chance that I’ll be diving in the Dead (not Red) Sea in June. Any thoughts on the effect of very high salinity on Ikelite gear? In particular DSLR housing and DS160 strobes. [/FONT]

Bill,
Just rinse the gear in freshwater as soon as you get out. Vigorously move each push button in and out several times while in the freshwater. Rotate the switches on the DS160s several times. This will greatly reduce any potential corrosion buildup.
