Does anyone have practical experience with burping a WWL-1B (in bayonet mount) with dry gloves. Is is feasible, and how to do?

I have an Oly OM-1 and pana 12-42 in NA housing coupled with a NA 35 port and a WWL-1B attached with a bayonet mount.

That leaves very little room between the NA housing and WWL to reach the red lever. It's a two-hand-fine motor-skills operation to pull the red lever, and rotate the WWL to burp it.

It's difficult, even without gloves (warm water diving). Though I haven't tried underwater, it seems near impossible to do wearing dry gloves.

I'm looking to bring with the rig when diving my local waters, where dry gloves are absolutely needed, so I need to solve that particular challenge.

Everything is more or less possible with dry gloves ;)

If you aren't like me 🙃

Joking apart, I have big hands and I'm not able to remove its hard cap either...

Do you really need to burp?

Apart from the camera (in my case Oly 5III), I have exactly the same configuration as you have. To my knowledge :-) I don t experience bubble problems.

From earlier posts I got the impression that problems occur with lenses that are capable to focus extremely close. So close, that they lock focus on the notoriuos bubbles .

A little jiggle gets all the bubbles out of my WWL-1 and it's screwed into the port?

Do you have the extension on the release tab? That makes it significantly easier with dry gloves.

I second this, Nauticam does have an extension and it works with both generations of bayonets. Also, I tether my WWL-1 to the housing should I drop it.

A third vote for the extension release, a must-have.
