Please help! I just purchased an Olympus SP-500UZ camera and Iklite housing for it. In the past, I owned a sea & sea camera that had dessicant packs I had to put in the housing. The Ikelite housing didn't come with any...do I need them?

48 days and counting!

always a good idea to use them ... and a small light day pad in the bottom just for good measure...

ikelite housings are generally large and there is plenty of space for any moisture to stay distributed in...

if your particular ikelite is one of those spacious ones, probably just need to place a couple of tampons in it - not for fogging but for an unexpected leak...

again, never hurts to play it safe...

Thanks Timmmmmy and Bob for the insight. I'll see if I can find a couple of dessicant packs and "borrow" some of my wife's feminine hygene products...for unexpected leaks that is!
