I flooded mine too, but as soon as I saw water in the window I shut it down, back on dry land we opened it up & dried it out, now... no problems. Just make sure it's dry before putting power to it...
course that was fresh water and it wasn't wet long...

I flooded a small all digital camera and it spent about 1/2 hr in the solution. I was told you could submerge it in fresh water back onboard then as soon as you get back to dry land find some Vodka or the highest percentage alcohol you can and submerge it in that and 'swish' it around. Remove and dry as well as possible and chances are good you could save it. The alcohol absorbes the water and then evaporates more easily. Don't know if that's 100% true or why it worked, if it in fact was the total reason, but my camera works again.

What kind of depths are you guys using the current versions of this camera? I owned 3 Reefmaster's and all of the housings eventually cracked and leaked at around 130'. Are they still rated for 160'?

How fresh? Make sure it is completel drained, then let it dry for a while, then give it a try. Do not try it until it is completely dry.
