Sl-560

[jdb]

I have a question. I have the sea life 560 camera and on my last dive the strobe flooded. It was a fresh water dive, I have removed the batteries and disassembled the strobe in an effort to remove all the water. I am new to photography and was wondering if there was anything else that I needed to do. thanks.

I'm not familiar with that particular strobe. Alot of the time you can just dry everything out real good and it'll be fine as long as the electronics didn't get wet. To be on the safe side, I'd take it to a repair shop and at least have them look at it.

Do you have any idea what caused it to flood? I have a Reefmaster, and Sealife is pretty good about replacing things if they are still under warrenty.

Not sure why it flooded, but it is still under warrenty. I never thought of that.

If you read their warranty info, I think they say about not covering flooding if you did something that could have caused it. Not sure how you would prove it one way or the other, but its worth contacting them about.

They replaced two strobes for me that the heads broke off of (don't know what I was doing to them) and they replaced a camera, that the only think I can of was it got wet somehow. There were no questions asked ever.
