Hi Chris,
After having replaced the battery of my Cobra, the battery compartment flooded yesterday :(
I rinsed it with fresh water and cleaned it with WD40.....
Any chance the unit survived this unintended introduction to the aquatic environment??
Thx in advance for your answer.

Thx Larry, maybe it's a good idea to buy a set of those dry diopters yes...
The idea is to buy an achromatic diopter if I really need one, but a good one is a lot more expensive so I will first try the cheaper ones to find out which diopter works best.....
Is there anybody around with the answer to my question?
We're leaving for Egypt next week and want to try my Nikon 16-85mm lens as an allrounder (if the focus gear arrives in time :dontknow:).
Having read the requirement to use a +4 diopter in the Ikelite lens/port chart, I wonder if I need one...
I've been using the Zen dome and macro port on my PT-EP05L for some time now and taking those ports on and of is a real struggle!
The standard port works like a baby and can easily be removed by hand....
For the Zen ports a had to use one of those oil filter removal tools; even then it was still...
Please see Fotoduiker's thread (below) on the subject; I've seen his set after trimming the housing ....the results with the ZEN dome are really stunning!!
I use the STTL option most of the time and it works very well. Leaving the setting on the strobes on average, you'll be able to "plus and minus" from the cam (which is in fill-in flash mode)
A good start is to set cam output to zero and adjust the D2000 to the given circumstances; the plus and...

Went there to see juvenile stuff; the Nuweiba area serves as nursery for much of the Red Sea's aquatic life.
Dutch Nudibranchs - Rob&Joke Maller's underwater pictures
These pics were shot with Oly 5060, 5050 and E-PL1 / E-PL3..... reflect both the nudie encounters in The Netherlands and the relationship we've built up with Oly cams!
Have fun watching!!
Did my first dive with the E-PL3 last Sunday with 2 Inon Strobes. Both firing all the time.... cam flash set to fill in and strobes on S-TTL. Done the same with our E-PL1; working perfectly ok.
Got a few friends with same set up as you're using; no probs either! So... yes, cam looks suspect!
Today we took our E-PL3 for a first time dip.... Wow! Isn't it mega fast compared to the E-PL1 we also have..... Tried it in the murky waters of The Netherlands (caused by recent bad stormy weather). Viz was no good, but found this nice bull rout (seeskorpion, zeedonderpad).
The answer can be very short...... I didn't get this combo to work. It gives you a nice round picture and will NOT focus properly...
But the 45mm in the ZEN macro port works wonders! Got some smashing pics; will post some soon.
