Haven't shot underwater yet with my PM-1, but I'm curious if the lens hood will be floating around and be annoying?
Or, has anybody found a convinient way to store it?
Or, should I just modify it, and use it as an adapter for diopters......

I have the E-PL1. I just put the lens cap it in my BC pocket after I get in the water.

Well, I don't use a BCD, so, no pockets...and storing it under the tray is no option for my wife's kit, no tray, just housing.. :) Guess I have to do some brainstorming .....

My method should work, even without a tray.

Give it some thought.
 
I'll give it a try..can't see your photos on my pad, have to use my PC later!

I don't carry the dome cap with me in the water. I made this cap/housing protector/handle that pulls off just before going in the water and back on before going in the boat's wash tank.

Here's a photo of my port hood.

I've been wondering about this too. That default plastic port cover is pretty large and hard, and I've been wondering if it will be a pain. Good ideas to ponder.
