    Read the warnings in your owner's manuals.

    I usually leave my housing open while flying, but once in a while, I forget.

    After I land, I find it very difficult to open the housing which I attribute to the pressure change. My o-rings are alright, and my camera doesn't flood, but can easily see how this might be bad for the o-rings, at the very least, it is probably not good for them.
