It is recommended that you take the complete system into a
swimming pool before use in open water This will give you a
chance to become familiar with the handling and operation of
your housing and strobe(s)

The buoyancy of the system will depend on the size and
number of strobes used as well as the weight of the camera
Ideally the system should be slightly negative in the
environment in which it will be used If you need to add weight
to the system an optional lead weight is available To add the
lead weight remove the ( ) screws from the bottom of the
aluminum tray Place the lead weight into the pocket of the
aluminum tray and reattach
