Canon 20d w/ ikelite housing failing at depth

[WaterWolf]

Hello,
On a recent trip I found that my camera was failing below 60 feet or so. The camera is in an Ikelite housing and I use a single DS125 strobe for light. When I would ascend above 60', it worked just fine. It must be something related to pressure but I just can't figure out what it might be. There was lots of ambient light so I don't believe it's related to focusing, or not being able to focus due to lack of light. This has not happened before and I've taken hundreds if not thousands of shots below 60'. Any ideas?

Thanks,
WW

That is likely a button/control that is sticking against a camera control in such a way that the shutter won't release.

Make sure all the controls on the housing retract completely before you use it, and make sure that they all retract while being used.

It may be hard to see, so stick with it.
