We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion equipment.
To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your new gear please take an extra
minute to review these general recommendations.
• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If
maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and repair
scheduling.
• Never transport or ship the housing with the camera inside. This may damage your
camera.
• Never leave your housing in the rinse tank, it may be damaged by other equipment.
• When removing the camera from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry controlled
environment away from other SCUBA related equipment. This prevents water from
other equipment or water from another diver accidentally entering the housing.
• If a product is flooded, immediately rinse it with fresh water. Most parts will be
salvageable if not corroded by salt water.
