The link works fine for me. Thanks for the great info, I've just put togther the magnetic reed switch/MOS fet for a modified mag light. I was using the old Dacor rubber boot on a toggle switch, but when it wore out, I tried using one from an electronics stores, but it failed after 2 dives. I haven't pressures tested the new set up yet, but it worked before, with the toggle switch. I was thinking of putting the magnet in my glove, so when I grab the light it will turn on.

Link worked fine. Is there any reason to not build a rather flimsy housing with a membrane bottom and fill it with mineral oil? That's done with the battery pods on some submersibles that use jelled lead/acid batteries.

I don't see those latches for sale at salvodiving.com. Did they change what products they sell or do you have to go through authorized dealers to get them?

Any suggestions for possible alternate latches?

Excellent! Thank you Mike D.

In case anybody is interested, you can get flat sheets of PVC from www.usplastic.com .

Certainly more expensive than making flat PVC on your own but much easier.
