SL has an outstanding record of customer service. Flooded cameras are always a risk, which we try to manage well - and insure if you'd like. State Farm's PAPolicy is great, but after a few claims - no one is going to continue coverage.
OP...I had 3 sea life dig cams. All flooded within 2 to 6 uses.
I tried Ikelite housings for a little Nikon dig PS cam. Used it 4 or 5 times and it flooded.
Only thing I ever had great luck with were the old Nikonos fim cams. Used 3 of them for years and never flooded once.
Thousands of $$ wasted with digital UW cams. I'm about ready to say fudge it with UW photos.

Once the trip is ruined from a flooded cam who wants to exchange it for another crapper that will ruin the next trip? I just trashed my SL cams. Didn't want any more of them after I tried 3 SL cams and all flooded within very short useage.
I'm, an old time tog as well. I know my gear. Google slackercruster on tumblr. I've owned tons of cams from minox to 4 x 5. Only Nikonos were complaint free for me. (Had the III, IV and V) But I gave up film and got rid of them long ago.
