I understand that the reason why a lot of people do not like the Huy's is because they do not use spring loaded latches (and because they is little support in the UK).

You're right, very little support for Hugy in the UK, having said that, Steve at Ocean Optics has always made the time to explain things to me even though he knows I wont be buying ports etc from him. The Allen key system is fantastic for me, being a bit of a biff I know there is no way I could ever manage to unlatch the housing during a dive!!

Again, the person I know with the floods is meticulous about cleaning the kit properly. It was I'm afraid definite housing / port failure on 2 out of 3, and probably the 3rd occasion too, rather than human error
