    Any snorkel action pics?

    But even with the breater extended, check your fluid comdition after a serious water crossing, just to be on the safe side. Eletronic wise, the dielectric grease is great. And like mentioned, protect all poossible conectors and take the habit of putting some anytime you play with a plug.
