Underwater camera care

Most divers have used an underwater camera at some point in their diving career and more and more divers are investing in their own underwater cameras now. 

However, a common problem I have encountered whilst working as an instructor is the dreaded flooded camera. There is nothing worse than starting a dive only to discover that your camera is no longer functioning as it is full of water and you're missing being able to photograph that whale shark that you've waited for years to see.

There is a simple preventative solution to camera flooding and damage, and that is proper camera care and maintenance. Whether you have a GoPro or a standard digital camera in housing it is important to maintain the condition of the O-rings and seals.

I found this video useful in demonstrating how to properly care for your camera.
