I fully agree that any marine grade glue or silicone will do the job. A time ago, one of my floaters got flooded inside, and I took it apart, cleaned the old glue and sealed with marine grade silicone. A random one, bought it on a nearby hardware store. A few years later it is still in a good shape. Your job with that small rubber would be much easier, so go ahead and tell us how was it. Regards.

Hi, a pic of the issue and more information about your rig (Brand, model, etc.) could really help us to reply you better.

El Nido is good for newbies without expectations. The Philippines has so many dive areas, much better than El Nido. Moalboal, Coron, Malapascua, etc.

In addition to my previous answer, I completely disassembled mine (it wasn't easy) and resoldered all the connections. I reassembled it and it was working again. What was wrong? I have no idea, all I know is that it's working again :)

Long story short, The Mf-1 has a manufacturer issue, and they break down easily. If It is not too old, Backscatter might replace for free, since I have seen it with other users. Contact them and cross your fingers.

I Grant, By coincidence, I decided to bring my same-problem D1 yesterday to a small Sea&Sea distributor here in Asia. I was quite lucky, finding a very experienced old man behind the desk. He did several tests for free but unfortunately could not fix it and added that is the main board, so not possible fixing. He gave me this restart sequence sheet attached for the D2 and told that sometimes he manages to fix some D1 units with it. You might try it. In addition, he also told and showed me why many D1 and D2 strobes flood, and it is due to the fiber cable socket, which after a while gets micro cracks and let the water come in. He advised to change it for a new sturdier one usually mounted on the D3 (attached pic too) strobe model, and I did the replacement for just $20 bucks. Totally worthy to avoid future floods if you have any more D1 or D2 strobe units. So far, I will keep using my "damaged D1" at medium power which works perfectly until it breaks down completely, and find another brand for new strobes. Sea&Sea has given me too many problems since 10 years ago. Regards. null null

Hi there. Could you please tell me if on the top of the strobe is written "MADE IN CHINA", and the color of the inner label? Black or yellow? A pic can also help. Maybe is the one I am looking for... Thanks.

I really like the color and light on this pic buddy. Nice one!

I recently travelled to Cancun and they took some of my airtight sealed food and some small tools for my underwater rig. I explained to them that it was illegal because I checked the Mexican custom law before flying in. They were 2 sneaky girls laughing each other behind the counter, so they clearly played me. When I demanded to talk to the supervisor they ignored me and started talking to the next person in queue. I also saw many attempts of scams in the streets and small supermarkets, so I won't go to Mexico anymore.

Hello! I hope you enjoy the forum! 😉

In Singapore you can leave a unattended laptop or a bag on a table of a cafe or restaurant, and nobodies is going to touch it. It's one of he safest countries in the world. So, a locker at the airport is massively safe.

What a colorful article buddy! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thanks for the info. I have been in Bali several times and it was always great. Nice pics by the way!
