I haven't had any problems with EO connectors and i dive in cold water in Sweden. The water in the Baltic sea is not very salty though so Kevin may be right about cold and salty, i just don't have the experience in those conditions. In my experience the EO are fine for cold, not very salt water.

What about just cold? Say, someone who's in fresh water for 95% of their diving? Anyone on this list (including those "weenie dive" guys who just 'fessed up) have problems with EO connectors in caves? Main reason for asking, is that I may opt to buy an entire new light instead of an upgrade. If the problems with EO connectors are restricted to salt water, than perhaps the upgrade is a decent option. Rich L
