making it fit poorly in it's intended channel later on). Your fingers are actually so sensitive that they can feel individual sand grains. Obviously in addition to greasing the o-ring, remove any particles as well.

• Not any grease will do. Use silicon grease from the camera manufacturer or dive shop
   
• Grease the o-rings sparingly
   
• When removing the o-ring, don't pull it out, "tease" it out. To lubricate, push the o-ring through fingertips that are lightly greased
   
• Rinse the camera equipment thoroughly in fresh water, preferably warm water. Salt deposits are a major source of corrosion
   
• Make sure you dry the equipment completely before opening; then open it with the camera back face down, so that any residual water
will not drip into internal components
   
• Never leave your equipment in full sunlight. If you can't store it in the shade, drape a towel over it
   
• Have your equipment serviced regularly; that includes lenses and strobes
