Naw, they're not that hard to keep water tight. I did have some difficulties getting my 8" dome port on correctly and found water in the dome on 2 seperate occassions during the test dunk in the camera bucket. No damage done though since I was right there and watching it.

I did bring a spare camera body with me because I was worried about flooding issues. I also took out insurance on the entire rig, just in case it was damaged, lost in transit, or flooded.
