To SeaLife Joe

Recently on a trip to Puerto Rico I had an incident with my mini reefmaster where the compartment which houses the camera's memory card and battery was somehow opened and salt water was introduced into the camera. I don't have any idea how this could have happened and I tried drying it out and using moisture munchers but alas the camera has not worked since. I know the mini reefmaster I have is now a discontinued model but with your experience would it be worth it to send my camera in to see if it's salvageable or would it be best to just bite the bullet and invest in a new camera? Any assitance you can give would be most appreciated!

Alara,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the Mini. I am afraid that when Salt water finds it's way into the inner camera and electronics, that is usually the end of the camera. SeaLife is running a camera upgrade program that will give you a rebate for the mini even though it is not working. You can get more details on the rebate by visiting SeaLife Cameras - Underwater Cameras and Accessories.

If you have any more questions, let me know.

Joe
