I've recently picked up a shearwater petrel 2nd hand, and on my 1st dive its flooded. It was fine until at least 6m, that's the last time I saw it, but once I got to the bottom of the shot line, 30m or so, i could see water between the screen and the perspex front, and there was no display.
I say flood, but after the dive there was maybe 10ml of water come out from the battery compartment, so not completely full. I've left it out to dry for a couple of days, but my question is what do I do next? It is pretty dry now, do i put a battery in and try it, or do i send it back to a retailer for repair or inspection, or any other suggestions? It was a salt water flood.
