[PSUBS-MAILIST] no more leaks

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Finally! 
Today is the first time Gamma did not leak a drop of oil from the drive, my new seal and new compensating hose did the trick.  The light bar on the other hand has some water.  This time the light bar was just sealed full of oil.  I think I am not getting all the air out, I will try a piece of clear garden hose next.  
I had a little scare today, the dome must have squeezed the gasket and let some tension off the retaining straps.  This made a scary sound.  I am doing another dive tomorrow, then I am off to do a proper deep test.  I am pushing my luck maybe. I am only diving 100 feet and like Vance says, a shoe box can be sealed to 100 feet :-)
