I will be going to the Galapagos Island in September and October and since I will have an opportunity to snorkeling and also be on Zodiacs I will take my Nikonos V and lenses in addition to other cameras.

New “O” rings?

Images I’ve seen show lots of sea spray on rocky coastline, so the Nikonos should be perfect.

I hope you have a lot of fun and get plenty of photograph.

My Canon G10 has a nice acrylic dive case but what rating I can not say, having never taken it in the water.

Agreed. The O rings must be inspected and replaced as necessary.
