[clicknick]

Hi,
newbie to underwater photography. Got a WP-DC300, but need to buy the o-ring and special grease. Where can I buy these and how much should I expect to pay? Anyone can pls advise this newbie. Much appreciated. Thanks.

You have to go to Canon to get the O-ring.

I just use food grade silicon lubricant for the o-ring. This is the regular lubricant use for dive gear o-rings. My current brand is Poseidon from richmond.

Sometimes I use the Ikelite silicon lubricant.

I thought the new O-rings (the coloured ones) need some sort of special O-ring grease? No? Than I no need to be so paranoid about using any kind of silicone grease

Cheers.

Like I said, I do not use the Canon O-ring grease for my WP-DC300.

I change the O-ring once a year. Clean and grease at the end of everyday worth of diving.
