Should I or should I not waste money on a TTL convertor...

I sent mine back to Kevin at Aquaphot, from whom I bought it. When he took it apart he said that the reason that it had flooded was a fracture in the main O-ring, not the battery compartment. Apparently this is the same reason as the other ones that he has had back.

There was no doubt that this was the cause because I could see the drops of water appear on the dive after it packed up.

He sent this to Sea & Sea UK who in turn sent it back to the factory. We'll see what happens when they get back to me.

Well I have now heard. The TTL Converter II was returned in May. S&S UK sent it back to Japan who have replied. I am to get a new replacement. The TTL Mk III has been discontinued and so I will be getting the new model.....when it comes out.....not before the end of September........

Do I laugh or cry?

what an outcome - Sea & Sea - well done...they could of said that it was your fault for not maintaining the sync cable..

Enjoy - when you eventually get it

I know this is a couple months old, but just wanted to share that there was a recall on Sea & Sea's TTL converters last summer. I had purchased a brand new one along with my Sea & Sea housing for my D200 and the TTL converter flooded on it's first dive. I sent it in to Subaquatics Camera Repair and they pressure tested it, realized the issue, contacted Sea & Sea and was told there was a recall on that model, couple weeks later I had a brand new one no charge (all covered under warranty). I have used it off and on since and haven't had any issues with leaking or flooding with the new one. I thought I'd share since quite a few people said they were having flooding issues with theirs and seems like those were made around the same time as my old one.

I hope that helps some.

Hi Amanda - thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I will just send all the parts I salvaged to Sea & Sea and see if they send me a new one!
