IX. After each dive
1. After your dive and before entering the dive boat, hand the
camera to someone on the boat.
2. Soak the sealed flash and camera in fresh water to remove
salt, sand and dirt. Most boats have a fresh water tub intended
for underwater cameras. Never allow the saltwater to dry on
the camera or flash.
3. After the camera and flash have been rinsed off, let the water
drain out of the flash arm (which has small drainage holes at
the bottom) and dry the sealed camera and flash with a towel.
4. Make sure flash (and you) are dry before opening the waterproof
door. If you can wait, keep your camera and flash sealed until you
are in a dry location. IMPORTANT: When opening the waterproof
door, make sure to hold the flash with the door facing down. This
will prevent water drops from entering the inside of the flash.
X. Care and Maintenance
1. Remove batteries before storing the flash.
2. Allow flash to thoroughly dry before storage.
3. Never use any detergents, cleaners, solvents or chemicals to
clean the flash.
4. Insert fresh Moisture-Muncher capsules (item #SL911) inside
the battery compartment during storage. This will keep the
inside dry and free of corrosion or mildew during storage.
5. Routinely inspect the flash for any worn or damaged parts.
Contact your local dive shop, or the SeaLife website for
available replacement parts.
