SL051 leaking - anyone else?

[Alucard]

I bought the SL051 wide-angle conversion lens for my Sealife camera - it's worked well for me for a while, but yesterday during a dive I noticed some water between the two internal lenses (not between the lens and the camera body, which I cleared as per instructions).

I have contacted Sealife to see what they advise, but has anybody else had this happen to them and if so, how did you fix it? I figure it either needs to stay 100% dry (i.e. be sealed) or flooded completely, so I don't get water splotches all over my photos and video...

The spec says it's "sealed down to 50m" and I haven't even been close to that - I doubt I have been down to more than 20m.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I realize it has been a long time since your post but just had the same problem with first use of the same lens. What eventually happened with you?
