Little flood in Power Switch Nikon D7000 Ikelite Housing

[lrossel]

Hi, I want your help to solve a small issue in my Nikon D7000 housing.

Two times during my dives in the past 6 months, I saw some little drops of water leaking trough the power switch of the housing. The two times happened when I was turning ON the camera underwater (what I usually do).

Is There any recomendation in order to use that switch only at the surface?

Fortunately, the drops always went a little far of any button of the camera, without any risk to go to the camera circuits.
