Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o'ring seal. Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o'ring. You should see a darkened area where the o'ring is compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Lubricants
1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other brands may cause the o'ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and o'rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper sealing.
CAUTION
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
Zoom Control
(NOTE:) After you have used the housing's zoom control it must be returned to the center position to disengage. If the housing zoom control is pushing the zoom lever in either direction you cannot take a picture or access any other function as the camera is receiving a signal from the engaged zoom control.
