Subject: Re: metal touching metal
The galvanic effect in seawater should be minimal for the time that dissimilar
metals are
in contact.  However, you might want a sacrificial anode -- perhaps a zinc
casting
of Neptune -- if there's any concern.  Most divers of any persuasion wash down
their rig with freshwater at the end of the day anyway.

In water containing other chemicals (SO2 or black water) YMMV.

For some users here, I'd advise a sacrificial anode made of cesium. ;)
