Re: RX100 V underwater housing recommendations

It has saved me from losing several thousand dollars in camera + lens + flash trigger several times. For instance, I was staying at a house with a bunch of cats. In the morning, I sealed the housing, pumped the vacuum, went to have breakfast, glanced at the camera and - whoa! - the blinking green has turned red. Opened it up and found a tiny (3-4mm long) cat hair on the o-ring. The tiny white hair was almost invisible on the white o-ring in a white housing. Couple other times it went red for no apparent reason, but removing the o-rings, cleaning and re-greasing them achieved a good seal. I don't dive without it anymore.
