FAQ Service & Repair


How often do I need to check/change my o-rings?

When you prepare for your next dive you check your O-rings and if in doubt rinse them in warm water and lubricate them with the producers recommended silicon grease. If you feel any crack or cuts in the o-ring change it for a new one. Yes you should always have a least one spare o-ring of every size you use. We recommend you change your o-rings once every year.

My strobe batteries only last half the dive even if I take very few images. What can I do?

As a general rule - please avoid using disposable batteries. We recommend you to use rechargeable batteries, metal hydride, with a 2000 mAh capacity or more. They are a more environmental friendly and they make your strobes charge faster. With rechargeable batteries you can start every day with full batteries ready for action.
