Desiccant (Silica Gel) Packs For Underwater Camera Housing Use - Instructions

Desiccant (silica gel) packs can be used for moisture absorption.  They are useful for wicking moisture away from the air/environment they are in, and can be used inside the Outex waterproof housings to reduce the amount of air moisture inside the housing.  That in turn helps reduce fogging.  Fogging is often the result of the heated moisture in the case's air, and often cause by the camera gear.

Durability, Maintenance, and Repair

Outex underwater housings are built to last as long as your camera gear when properly maintained. This guide covers how to clean, store, and extend the life of every component — and what to do if your cover is damaged in the field.
