Hank, do you have some grease under that dome? I recall Phil saying the scariest thing he's ever experienced was the screech of an un-greased dome contracting. 

Best,

Alec

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 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 :-)
