Folks,
Just back from Cuba and this reminded me......
I did a dolphin swim and was allowed to keep my camera which had a wee
"mini-pad" as well as 4 wee packs of dessicant and ended up with fog.  Of
course the camera was in and out of the water all the time (wearing the
required lifejacket, no fins, mask, watch etc) no way could I go under.
Heard the diving was great but I only snorkelled and it was better than
Scotland :-)
And I was attacked by what I assume was a triggerfish which was black, about
6" long and VERY aggressive to other fish in the area as well as to me!
Cheers
Carol

installed in the bottom of the housing also seems to help the problem you
described and offers a bit of protection for minor leaks.  Keeping the
camera out of the sun and in a dunk bucket completely eliminates the
problem, regardless of whether it's  fresh or salt water that the camera is
soaking in.  (I travel with a REI collapsible bucket)  However, a salt water
dunk means no opening the housing between dives!  I also put a synthetic
chamois in the bottom of the water filled bucket to cushion the bumps on the
ride out and back.
