On my first trip using the AOI/Octo housing for my OM_EM 10 Mark IV, I had it malfunction twice. The first time the vacuum light turn red after 30 minutes into a dive. I got out of the water asap and when I opened the housing, it was totally dry inside. I wiped the sensor with an alcool swab and reset the vacuum and all worked fine for a couple of days. And then, even though I had set the vacuum with a green light, dunked the camera, when I jumped in and got to about 30 ft, the red light came on so I immediately brought the camera back to the boat . Once I got to the resort and opened the housing, there was enough water in the housing to damage the camera and the lens. They are both dead. I am not impressed with this system. What's the point of setting a vacuum if it will fail like this. The housing is back at Backscatter and I am waiting for an evaluation. Let's just say I am in no hurry to put another camera in there. BTW, I am an experienced photographer and have used various other housings in the past. In my 15+ years of diving with a camera, I have never flooded a camera before and am always very cautious when preparing my camera. Has anyone else ever experienced leakage with the "octo" housing? Is the AOI housing for the OM1 more reliable than this one?
