Aquapac 420 Small Underwater Camera Case Review

I snorkled with this AquaPac case for a week in the Galapagos Islands and learned some valuable lessons:

(1) Over the seven days of surface snorkeling - the AquaPac kept my Lumix FX3 camera "bone dry".

(2) With this AquaPac - one needs to set both the "camera" and "video" settings to infinity - otherwise you will take some nice shots of the camera bag itself - or any water droplets on the camera bag itself.

(3)I followed the recommended advice to add the silica/desicate bag to the AquaPac.This turned out to be a major faux pas (e.g. DISASTER). The silica/desicate bag burst and sent the "sand" particulate into the bag and into my camera - rendering the camera inoperable - since the lens could no longer close/open - nor could the auto-focus focus.The silica bag was added on the last day of trip and the silica bag disintegrated on the last day of trip.So I was able to shoot some nice photos of sea lions under water - but my camera is now "hosed" (e.g. it is a now a $179 piece of garbage due to silica bag sand entering the lens).

(4) The sea lion shots that I took underwater were phenomenal.
