Aquatica Housing/Port Question

To any Aquatica Housing owners (particularly the Canon 20D) - When you put the lens ports on the housing, how tight do they fit? Mine seem looser than I would have expected though when put under water was still water tight.

There also seems to be just a light room for wiggle - is this normal?

If I rocked the port side to side I could feel some compression in the O-ring. Is this what you mean by wiggle?

Seems to be. I can rock the ports slightly side-to-side and yes, do seem to feel the O-ring there. Just surprised that there is any wiggle at all.

Yes this is normal,there is a little bit room to wiggle between the housing and the port.

Thanks and good to know. It just seems so odd that the housing clamps down so tightly yet the ports screw onto the bayonets so easily and have that wiggle. I figured it must be ok as it was water tight on basic submersion tests but wanted to check.
