So you're the one who snagged that! Looked like a good buy. I wanted it not
for underwater use, but for protection during water sports, such as
wind-surfing.

I'd suggest you try it in a "controlled environment" the first time, like a
bathtub. That way, when the water pours in, you are close to a telephone so
you can scream at the person who sold it to you. :-)
I remember the ad. It said something like "a good user will grease the
seals before use," so I'd also suggest you be on your best behavior,
because it will obviously give a "bad user" problems. :-)
