- I have a Sea&Sea Motormarine II with a strobe. Last summer we cleaned
- everything and packed it away. We are going to Guanaja in February and took
- it out this weekend to give it another checkover. The manaul said to replace
- the O-rings every two years, no matter if they appear damaged or not. We
- bought new O-rings and did so, but I'm kind of curious as to why. They looked
- fine to me. Do they compress or something after a year?
- Also, what would you bring along as extra supplies? We are bringing
- tons of film, extra batteries for the strobe and camera, and extra O-rings.
- Is there something I'm forgetting? A camera friend also said to use Fuji film
- since it has better reds than Kodak. I seem to remember seeing that here once
- but couldn't find it in anything I have squirreled away.
- Thanks.
