Hi, thanks for checking my message. I have a Olympus housing for the Olympus 350. I had it flooded before in another trip, and I thought it had been my mistake for not taking good care of the o-ring.
I bought new o-ring and Oly silicone. Cleaned the housing, and bought a new camera.
I did a test on the pool with paper inside the housing.
Result: After about 10 minutes in the water, moving the camera around, pressing buttons and shaking it, I noticed some micro water drops inside. There weren't many, but did get some spots of the paper wet.
I hate to admit the housing is dead, so I am wondering can I still dive with the housing like that? Should I apply more vaseline to the o-ring?
I am diving tomorrow in Cabo and would love to take some pics.
Thanks a lot
