I need some maintenance tips!

I was just curious if there was a way to prevent corrosion? Does anyone put any thing on the screws? Is there a good way to clean it off? Also, I just recently did my first much diving and man, there is sand in every grove. Any recommendations on how to handle this?

Thanks

I use this product to prevent corrosion. http://www.tefgel.com/contain.php?param=tefgel_infor

We use Lanacote on the screws for both housings and tripods (Per xIT instructions) but tefgel also works great. Make sure you have a good sacrificial anode on the housing.

Here's a link to my blog article on o-ring maintenance. If you can take a milk jug of water to your dives and rinse immediately, it can really help.
