I have a Sea Dragon flash that I use in conjunction with my DC2000 camera.
Lately I have had an issue whereby the flash either won't turn on once I descend, or fails to turn back on during the course of a dive.
This morning I descended to approximately 15 feet, turned on the flash, and took a couple of photos. Went to take a thrid photo and the flash would not fire - I had not turned it off after the first two photos. The flash would not turn on for the rest of the dive. When I was back at my truck and gearing down, I tried the flash and it turned on right away.
I always test the flash prior to leaving home, and prior to entering the water, and it works every time. The flash has a new set of batteries, and the contacts in the battery compartment have been cleaned. I am wondering if it may be the contacts, or something in the on / off switch.
Anyone else had a similar issue with their flash unit ??
