Can I fire my YS-01 strobes out of the water with out damage to strobes?

Will this overheat or damage my strobes in anyway?
Thank!

I test my strobes out of water BUT I was warned many years ago that if you shoot off too often and too quickly there can be significant heat build up within the housing. So I take a shot check it and maybe test it again but that is about it.

If you are using them as a strobe to light up studio shots there should be no problem unless you are shooting them more than 1/sec say. I use my YS01 all the time to shoot water drops and have had absolutely no issue (I check my strobes every few months to verify the power is fine).

Thanks for the replies . I will test fire these strobes, and leave the rest for the reef I guess.
