I put together a simple DIY cover for my Nauticam CMC‑2 using a trimmed 70 mm vinyl end cap. Inside the cap, I wove bungee to form four small retention tabs that snap under the lens’ top ledge, giving it a secure, positive hold instead of relying on friction. It pops on cleanly, stays put during entries/exits, and the parking loop on the hinge gives me a backup in case it comes off before I can clip it off underwater. Surprisingly solid for a no‑3D‑printer solution.

I am interested in buying a Fantasea UMG-02, or its equivalent AOI UMG-01, LCD magnifier. Either used or new would be fine. Please let me know if you have one for sale. You can DM me here or at [email protected]. Thanks, Adrian

Offer closed due to wrong title. New ad entered.

Thanks for the catch — you’re right. The FLP‑06 uses a glass front element, not acrylic. The marks I mentioned earlier are extremely light surface marks on the glass. They’re so faint I can’t get them to show in photos, and they don’t appear in images underwater. Everything else in the listing is accurate.

Obviously, I copy/pasted the wrong title to this ad. Will try to fix it.

Sold.

Great! Please keep me updated. Thanks.

Any interest in making these for the Atom flash, Dave? Do you think there would be any risk of overheating with these on?

As all have said, very glad you are safe. That still must have been traumatic. I appreciate the description of the process and the warnings. As a hospital-based physician, I have heard hundreds of fire alarms in my career. None have been real and serious, and I have become complacent. I cannot imagine the consequences of a major fire.

Dave, Did you get a chance to test out the Atom Knob? Even for warm water, it can be difficult to turn the knob especially with fat fingers. Adrian
