roll?]]

I bought a WR105 several months ago but never found a reference to 1 meter
depth.  I have gotten mine pretty wet swimming under some waterfalls in
Puerto Rico and it still works fine.  If I can find a reference to it being
good to 1 meter, then I will be more inclined to wear the camera when
practicing bracing and rolling.  I currently reverve that treatment for my
Minolta Weathermatic which has gone done to 25 feet and is still working.
