How should I maintain my housing after diving with it?
Always rinse your housing with a strong stream of fresh water and if possible soak the housing in a fresh water tub or rinse tank for about 20 minutes after every dive in order to dissolve the salt water crystals from around the controls and openings of the housing. Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt particles from these tight areas.
Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing away for the day or for the trip home. You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is no grease or other debris on the towel. Wrap the towel around one hand and hold the housing with it. Tap the case lightly on all sides against the other hand to shake off any remaining drops of water. Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces, it could crack and affect its watertight seal integrity.
Travel with the housing protected in a padded case. It is best to remove the camera from inside the housing when traveling and provide it with its own protective case, or compartment.
