It's been awhile since my last dive trip, and before that trip I purchased the "DAN Deluxe Surface Signaling Kit" which comes with the "DAN Safety Light w/Dome". I checked to be sure that the light was working when I purchased it and that it was ready to go before my dives (making sure the cap was on correctly). However didn't check it after my dives or before putting into storage, and apparently it flooded during those dives.
I opened it up yesterday while doing a gear inventory only to find all the metal inside is completely rusted. I tried to sandpaper the leads, but there are two small connecting metal bars that immediately broke...so it's toast.
Anyway, needless to say it's past the return window, so I just wanted to give a "buyer beware" to this item. I'm very disappointed, I thought DAN wouldn't sell gear that would fail so quickly.
