5 minutes into a quarry dive I noticed a stream of small bubbles coming from my sealife digital pro flash (on a DC 1200) which I have used a number of times before with no problem. I did an ascent, swam over to a rock sticking out of the water to provide a dry working area. Opened up flash and dumped probably half a cup of water out. Closed it back up. Swam back to entry holding flash out of water and put camera back in the car with the back open so that the flash could drain and dry out.
This is fresh water.
So now what? I am still not sure of the source of the leak. The seals look fine but they are probably a couple years old.
Can I just replace the seals and use the camera once it has had a good chance to dry?
Is the flash toast?
Will it eventually corrode?
Thanks

PS: It was used on 4 ocean dives only 3 weeks ago with no problems.
