Oh dear, my new Olympus indestructible waterproof freeze proof (handy) camera is slowly expiring. I say new one, the first one made it to Fiji last time before it decided to leak. It soldiered on above the waterline and was sent back as a corroded wreck with a dodgy cable flapping loose front. Marked repair under guarantee.

They sent a new one.

It has:

  • A dent in the front (RS600 related I think)
  • Intermittent flash - Flash. dun dun dun dun Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
  • The trim around the lens, is somewhere in Nuku Hiva.
  • Water in the battery compartment.
  • Jamming battery catch.

I suppose its had two and a half years of use, its been on F18s, Hobie 18s rescue boats launching off Brighton Beach, the RS 600 the i14. Not to mention sailing 5000Nm across the Caribbean and Pacific.

Its a case of Dive Another Day, and see if it still works.

 More pictures from, what's left of it, to follow.
