Nice photos. Hope your dive went well.
Years ago a friend of mine showed me how to roll film in a dark bag and develop E-6. I cannot remember how it happened but I remember I was having trouble rolling the film and my hands where sweating. I also do not think the container was completely dry and I realized the film was getting wet. I mentioned what was going on to my friend and thought for sure the film was ruined. He said don’t worry about it that slide film was forgiving and it would be fine. It did turn out fine. I think it was okay because it went quickly into the developing process.
I have been pretty lucky and have only had a couple of leaks with a Nikonos 11. The last one I completely flooded the camera. When I poured the water out it was a multity colored mess. It was caused by one grain of sand. I rinsed the camera out and took most of it apart, dried it and was using it again within a couple of hours. That is one thing I like about Nikonos 11’s you have about an 85% chance of a flooded working again by just cleaning and drying it out.
