TRAVELING
When transporting by air, please ensure the housing is not sealed to allow the air pressure to equalize;
removing the gasket is recommended.
Please protect the housing during transportation by wrapping it in foam or other protective wrapping.
ACCIDENTS
The impact resistance of the housing is excellent. However after an accident the alignment of the housing
may have been damaged. Therefore in the event of your housing suffering an impact force, e.g. being
dropped, it is essential you do not use the housing for diving. Please return the housing immediately for
service. Please put a note inside to indicate the nature of the accident, so that we can assess the course of
action to take to renovate the housing.
Note!
Always take the first dive without your flash in the housing just to make sure there is
no leakage from damage to the housing. During the dive—especially at the beginning
of descent—take special care to look at the housing to make sure no bubbles are
escaping from it and that no water is entering. Generally, if there is a problem with the
seal, you will discover it in the first seconds of the dive.
SERVICE
It is recommended to have annual maintenance of all Fantasea housings. It is likewise recommended to use
an authorized Fantasea Service Center for this purpose. Please contact Fantasea Line by email:
or visit the Fantasea Customer Service section on the web site
.
To ensure the continued performance of your housing, it should be serviced every year, or after every 200
dives. Please note the terms for servicing the housing posted at our website. A full service will include:
Inspection of all components for wears or damage (report if repair necessary)
Cleaning of all sealing surfaces, and replacement of all gasket seals.
Hydrostatic pressure test
Note: the replacement of damaged components (except replacement gasket) may require additional cost.
