O-rings are the most important components of your underwater camera system. If the O-ring is lubricated, it will be elastic enough to shape itself uniformly around the channel providing a proper seal. If it is dry, there will be too much friction to allow it to reshape itself uniformly.
It will not safeguard against flooding. O-rings may be cleaned with fresh water and then lubricated with Sea & Sea Silicone Grease. It is important to use only the suggested Silicone Grease by the manufacturer.
Other types of grease may cause the O-Ring to become gummy, attracting debris. Every time you open your photographic equipment to change film or batteries, examine the O-ring and service if necessary. Always clean and lubricate after every diving day.
O-Ring grease makes a great Safe-a-Dive Kit Item and you should keep some in your camera bag or case.
