If in doubt about the condition, and preferably after about 50 dives, it is advisable to replace the O-rings. To do this very carefully. The sealing surface of the aluminum parts should also be checked for damage.

After each dive, it is recommended that your battery pack (s) and Squid (s) external to rinse with fresh water. While rinsing, make sure that the battery pack is provided with the Squid to prevent water penetration.
